When PREMIUM TIMES visited the Public Service Institute where the exercise took place on Thursday, many of them were seen struggling to complete the verification about a week before the end of the exercise.
Thousands of federal civil servants currently participating in the Integrated Personnel and Payroll Information System physical verification in Abuja felt dejected on Thursday due to overcrowding and rowdiness at the venue of the exercise.
IPPIS was conceived in 2006 to centralise workers’ salary payments and serve as a means to facilitate convenient staff remuneration with minimal wastage, among others. Those who are not residents of Abuja were particularly eager to complete the exercise and leave apparently because of the expenses incurred travelling to the federal capital.
He condemned the handling of the verification, saying the application of technology could have eased the burden associated with the registration. He also bemoaned the “insensitivity” on the part of the government to have compelled 17,000 workers to assemble in one space for the exercise, whereas it could have been done in their respective agencies.
“The affected workers must conduct themselves properly for the exercise to go on. We don’t have to take Civil Defence to that place before they’ll start to accuse us of intimidating them,” Mr Abdullahi said.
