Nigerian Govt Eliminates Over 30,000 'Fake Names' From Police Payroll


BY SAHARAREPORTERS, NEW YORK

MAR 26, 2018

The Nigerian government has eliminated names of over 30,00 ‘ghost workers’ from the payroll of the police, it has been revealed.

The elimination of names of the fake police officers followed the introduction of Integrated Personnel Payroll System platform, which brought the number of names on the police payroll down to 291,685 from 370,000.

Government officials said bringing the police force on the Integrated Personnel Payroll system platform, has ended the corrupt activities of the police officers that feed fat from manipulation the payroll of the police force.

According to reports, there was subtle resistance by some corrupt officers who have been benefiting from the old system as they tried to stop the government from enrolling the police on the platform.

It was also gathered that complaints of arbitrary deductions from salaries of police personnel would end with their enrollment on the platform, as the officers will now be credited directly from the office of the ant General of the Federation.

Reports indicated that President Muhammadu Buhari is determined to end corruption associated with payrolls in Nigeria by ensuring that every Federal government agency is enrolled on the IPPS platform.

Ghost workers huh? Are they not majorly from the North?

An Abokí shoe mender will proudly tell you that he is employed,the money gotten from shoe mending is not the major source of his income.

We were protected by 70000 ghost police officers.

Tribalism has eaten deep into the veins of some of you. What made you think the majority of the fake names are not from the south?

Stupid and fake news that can't be verified, the foolish government is trying to divert attention from the real matters arising so as to project them that they are working when there is grim situations of hunger, poverty, insecurity etc on ground

This IPPIS is doing wonders wallahi

Idiotic pigs of Biafra will not like this

pls don't tell me this one is someone's pikin

This is just a tip of the Icebag. Far more revelations will come up when all health and tertiary institutions are enrolled on the IPPIS platform. The mother of all ghost workers will be revealed when all the military forces are enrolled before the end of the year. Corruption is one heck of a monster in this country.

I know you are one miserable sergeant Komo misbehaving up and down, we are talking about the contract scam of $26 billion at NNPC when your lord and master, Buhari is the minister of petroleum resources, we are talking of over 8 million souls once gainfully employed taking care of their families and loved ones suddenly flushed into the streets unemployed under your lord. We are talking of state of anarchy Nigeria has been reduced to under your lord. We are talking of extreme hunger and hardship in the land under your lord and master and here you are spewing nonsense with that your Mallam head and goatee

And you are sure you are educated? Shame on whatever institution that failed you woefully

Rubbish! I've said it before and I'll say it again, the greatest reform that can ever happen to the police force is for the federal government to detach all the pockets from the police uniform and also to issue a decree, that henceforth, the police uniform will be sewn without the provision of pockets so as to eliminate every avenue for the police to hid the #20 the regularly extort from motorists and other road s.

With this way there frivolous activities can be checkmated, lobatan!

Actually, the figure is more than 80,000 Ghost workers if you do the arithmetic.

Over 80,000 ‘ghost officers’ uncovered in Nigerian Police
March 26, 2018

Times.

EXCLUSIVE: Finance Ministry, Budget Office, among agencies with thousands of ghost workers
The 371,800 figure often quoted as the number of of the Nigeria Police Force in the country included no fewer than 80,115 ‘ghost officers’, data obtained from the Office of the ant-General of the Federation by TIMES have uncovered.

The data revealed that following the full integration of payrolls of the country’s 42 police commands and formations into the federal government Integrated Payroll and Personnel Information System (IPPIS) last February, staff count stood at only 291,685, with gross salary of about N22.3 billion.

The extra number of officers, which the top hierarchy of the police failed to for, have for several years been drawing billions in salaries and other benefits.

At the meeting of the Federal Executive Council in Abuja last Wednesday, the Minister of Finance, Kemi Adeosun, presented an updated report on the implementation of the IPPIS.

The minister confirmed that 511 ministries, departments and agencies (MDAs) have been captured under the system, with staff count of about 607,843.

Of this number, the minister said, 469 MDAs, with staff count of 316,158, and gross salary of N43.98 billion, were from MDAs whose payrolls have been captured under the IPPIS as at March 20.

Mrs Adeosun said this did not cover staff count of 291,685 from the 42 police commands and formations across the country captured on IPPIS platform as at February which ed for a gross pay of over N22.3 billion.

In addition, she said staff count of para-military agencies, namely Nigeria Immigration Service, Nigeria Prison Service and Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps under the IPPS to date stood at about 100,822, with a trial payroll cost of over N11.5 billion for the corresponding period.

The figures, which the minister said have been sent for review and update against the April 2018 payroll involved a staff count almost the size of the extra ghost officers uncovered in the police payroll.

The minister said government saved over N68 billion on personnel cost though the full deployment of the IPPS in the payrolls of MDAs in spite of increase in personnel, including the recent employment of fresh 10,000 officers by the Nigerian Police.


Until last February, the police authorities have always resisted government’s proposal to bring its payroll under IPPIS, one of the public finance reform policies for personnel management and payroll system in of manpower planning and budgeting.

Early last month, there were simultaneous protests in the Federal Capital Territory, Abuja and Port Harcourt to kick against attempts to do this.

The protesters had argued that the proposed integration of the police into the IPPIS system by government would work against the smooth operations of the Force, as the arrangement would delay the prompt payment of salaries of officers every month.

But, government insisted on going ahead with its phased deployment of the scheme in all MDAs, which had the police, para-military agencies, military and federal tertiary institutions covered under Phase 3.

Although the minister did not say how much government saved as a result of the removal of the over 80,000 additional names on the police payroll at the completion of the integration process in February, she however confirmed aggregate savings in personnel costs for all MDAs since 2007 was about N288 billion.

She said with the completion of the exercise, the police payroll at the moment was not only efficient and accurate, police officers across the country now receive their salaries promptly on or before 20th of every month. TIMES is yet to confirm the minister’s assertions.

Prior to being brought under the IPPIS platform, TIMES learnt officers’ have been complaining of unapproved deductions from their monthly pay, apart from the official tax obligations they have to bear along with contributions to other benefit schemes.

TIMES was not able to independently confirm with the police authorities what the latest details were of their payrolls since being brought on the IPPIS platform.

Police officers spoken with refused to comment as they referred the reporter to the Inspector-General of Police, who they said was the only official authorised to speak on such “sensitive issues.”

And you sincerely think you have proffered the long sought after solution to the corruption problem bedevilling Nigeria police force, right? Guy, the institutional corruption in the police is far more than the N20 that the rank and file collect on the road.

if they can do this to my saviour Jesus Christ, after shouting hosanna, they forgot all the wonderful things he did, all the miracle.

But today it is the same idiotic pigs of Biafra and a failed PDP that hated buhari from the beginning, even before 2003 election will still be shouting till 2023, crucify him.

So you are now comparing Buhari to Jesus now? I never knew it has degenerated to this for you. It is well with your life

I am only replying from your signature

It's this kind of success in the anticorruption drive that keeps making me to have a soft spot for Buhari and his government. We know EFCC hasn't been recording convictions of politicians and bigwigs yet, but all of these revenue leakage blockages, seizing of millions of dollars over and over again - CAN'T happen in an Atiku government. Even the president will collect his own share from it using proxies and everything will be hushed.
