The Nigerian government has set February 17, 2025, as the final deadline for all federal civil servants to complete their identity verification on the Integrated Payroll and Personnel Information System (IPPIS). This exercise is aimed at identifying legitimate workers and removing ghost employees from the payroll.

To complete the verification, civil servants must provide their Taxpayer Identification Number (TIN), IPPIS number, and salary account number on the designated government portal. Many workers are rushing to obtain their TIN to meet the deadline, as failure to do so will result in salary suspension and possible removal from the payroll.
The government had previously extended the deadline, but this is the final opportunity for compliance. Employees who do not complete their verification may face serious consequences, including loss of salary payments and further investigations.
By enforcing this verification, the government aims to eliminate payroll fraud, save public funds, and improve efficiency in salary payments. Civil servants are urged to act immediately to avoid any disruption to their salaries. For more information, they should visit the official IPPIS portal and follow updates from the government.
