President Muhammadu Buhari has directed all Ministries, Departments and Agencies, MDAs of government including the military and universities to join the Integrated Personnel and Payroll Information System, IPPIS.
Vice President Yemi Osinbajo who made the disclosure on Tuesday said that IPPIS would help in curtailing some of the abuses in the salaries and emoluments processes of the government.
Osinbajo spoke during a meeting with Permanent Secretaries and Directors-General during a one-day sensitization session on the 2016 budget and 2016-2020 Medium Term Plan of the Federal Government.
His words ;
“We need to cut overheads too, we can’t spend as we used to spend. We need to block leakages, increase accountability and transparency. This is an absolute necessity, the level of corruption is an outrage and we have to deal with it."
He said that given dwindling oil revenue and widespread poverty among Nigerians, there is a need to change how budgeting is done in order to achieve President Buhari’s socioeconomic goals.
He said that the government's greatest challenge “is controlling ballooning recurrent expenditure and freeing up resources for growth-related capital expenditure."
