The Independent Corrupt Practices and Related Offences Commission (ICPC) is set to prosecute 3,657 civil servants for refusing to get verified on the Integrated Personnel Payroll Information System (IPPIS).
This was disclosed by the Head of Civil Service of the Federation, Folashade Yemi-Esan, in Abuja Thursday during a briefing organised by the Presidential Communications Team.
She said 61,446 civil servants from various federal ministries, departments and agencies had been verified on the IPPIS platform.
Mrs Yemi-Esan said another 1,618 applicants were found to have used illegal or fake letters; while 874 officers had been suspended from the platform. She said the government saved about N180m monthly and about N2bn annually by implementing IPPIS.
The IPPIS could accommodate the salaries of university lecturers who preferred University Transparency and Accountability Solution (UTAS) yet to pass relevant integrity tests, she said.
