According to the circular sighted by ThisDay, the affected civil servants were given between Friday, October 30, and Sunday, November 8, to perfect their records on the government’s centralised payroll system or risk having their salaries suspended immediately.
It was also gathered that the affected workers are required to present documents at the point of entry into service and original copies of their credentials for final clearance of issues.
Earlier, Legit.ng reported that President Muhammadu Buhari stopped lecturers of federal higher institutions who are not enrolled in the IPPIS from collecting salaries.
