RALD NEWS MEDIA Report: Federal Government Exempts Universities and Tertiary Institutions from IPPIS

In a recent development, the Federal Government has officially announced the exemption of universities and tertiary institutions from the Integrated Personnel Payroll Information System (IPPIS). The revelation came from Minister of Education, Professor Tahir Maman, who disclosed this key decision after a cabinet meeting chaired by President Bola Tinubu.

This groundbreaking move signifies a departure from the traditional payroll and recruitment processes for these institutions. Minister Maman stressed that the decision was motivated by the government's commitment to preserving the autonomy of universities, a concern arising from the perceived erosion of autonomy by the IPPIS.

Notably, the exemption empowers the heads of these institutions to conduct recruitment exercises independently, eliminating the need for approval from the Head of Service of the Federation. President Tinubu, in line with this, directed the removal of Vice Chancellors from the platform, aiming to streamline and enhance the efficiency of recruitment processes.

Minister of Information and National Orientation, Muhammed Idris, expressed that the announcement brings substantial relief to universities and tertiary institutions. The decision aligns with the persistent appeal from these educational bodies to be excluded from the IPPIS system. This significant shift is anticipated to contribute to more effective and autonomous management of higher education institutions across Nigeria.
