The move comes as a response to the persistent requests from university authorities and other tertiary institutions seeking exemption from the IPPIS. Minister Idris emphasized, “Today, Council has graciously approved that. What that means is that going forward, the universities, like the Minister of Education has said, and other tertiary institutions, the polytechnics and colleges of education, will be taken off the IPPIS.
What it means?
In simple terms, this decision signifies that university authorities and other tertiary institutions, including polytechnics and colleges of education, will now handle the payment of their personnel independently, without reliance on the IPPIS.
This marks a significant shift in the financial management structure for these institutions, granting them greater autonomy in managing their payroll and personnel information systems.
