The Federal Government has issued a stern directive stating that Ministries, Departments, and Agencies that fail to enrol in the Integrated Personnel and Payroll Information System will be excluded from the 2025 personnel budget.
This is according to findings from the 2025 budget call circular issued to MDAs and seen by the PUNCH.
The document read, “It is expected that all MDAs have now complied with Presidential directive to enrol on the Integrated Personnel and Payroll Information System.
MDAs not yet on IPPIS WILL not be provided for in the personnel budget for 2025.” In its budget proposal for 2025, the Federal Government has allocated N9.64tn for personnel and pension costs, which represents 20.13 per cent of the national budget of N47.9tn.
“A sum of N9.64tn (including N1.02tn for GOEs) is provided for personnel and pension costs. This is an increase of N3.56tn, or 58.7 per cent, over the 2024 provision and is mainly due to the implementation of the new minimum wage and its consequential adjustments,” the document noted.
