The federal government has given civil servants until February 17, 2025, for identity verification as it prepares to root out ghost workers from the commission.
This was contained in a memo released by the Office of the Accountant-General of the Federation, headed by Dr. Oluwatosin Madein.
Federal civil servants are expected to verify their identities on the portal of the Integrated Payroll and Personnel Information System amid the planned stoppage of salaries and other sanctions for ghost workers.
The report gathered that civil servants have been in a haste to generate their Taxpayers Identification Number to meet the deadline. Part of the requirement for verification is the TIN alongside the IPPIS number and salary account number.

The memo read, “Following the Treasury Circular with Ref. No. TRY/A6&B6/2024-OAGF/CAD/026/Vol. V/910 dated 27th June, 2024 on the above subject matter and subsequent extension dated 16 August, 2024, I am directed to inform you that AGF has approved the extension of the OAF-IPPIS Payroll Validation Portal for an additional one week (10 – 17” February, 2025).
The report added that the portal will be deployed and made accessible to those employees that were unable to complete their validation before the end of the earlier deadline.
“It is hereby emphasized that all employees concerned are expected to conclude update of their payroll information on or before 12 midnight of Monday, February 17, 2025. Please note that officers who fail to avail themselves of this last opportunity may suffer some consequences which may include suspension from the payroll.
“Accounting Officers, Directors/Head of Finance & Account and Internal Audit Units of MDAs and other Arms of Government, are enjoined to give this circular the widest circulation it deserves and ensure compliance.”
In 2024, President Bola Tinubu directed that all civil servants drawing salaries from the Federal Government after relocating abroad be made to refund the money.
The President also directed that the culprits’ supervisors and department heads be punished for aiding and abetting the fraud while they were in charge.
