What is IPPIS?
IPPIS is one of the Transformation agenda of
the Federal Government of Nigeria with the
aim of creating a centralized database system
for Nigerian Public Service with single,
accurate source of Employee information that
provides integration with other business
applications.

IPPIS Objectives
1. Provide a centralized database to aid Governments
manpower planning and decision making
2. Facilitate automation & storage of personnel records
to support monitoring of staff emolument payments
against budget.
3. Prevent wastage and leakages by ensuring staff
remuneration is based on factually correct
information.
4. Ensure prompt payment of salaries directly to
Employees Account with appropriate deductions and
remittances of 3rd party payments (e.g. Tax, Pension,
Cooperatives, Union Dues and Bank Loans)
