The Chairman, Federal Civil Service Commission (FCSC), Prof. Tunji Olaopa, has explained how to make the Integrated Personnel and Payroll Information System (IPPIS) serve the civil service better.
Olaopa spoke on Monday in Abuja during the Go-Live Ceremony and Official Launch of the IPPIS Human Resource Modules by the Head of the Civil Service of the Federation, Mrs Didi Esther Walson-Jack.
In a goodwill message Olaopa delivered on the occasion, he said that after the Go Live and Launch, the IPPIS’ full complement of human resource modules should revolve round the change management creativity to, first, resolve subsisting gaps and opportunities for full public sector-wide adoption. He said that this should include getting total handle on the whole issue of data integrity, and system’s enhanced capability, and widening the scope of its benefit in deployment for the overall public administration system transformation.
He said that, for example, there should be sound explanation and resolution for the data verification lag discovered periodically, as in the discrepancies observed in personnel data generated with biometric checks, and those generated during physical verification.
Describing the launch as a heart-warming development, he said that it would allow over 600,000 civil servants to manage records, download payslips, and apply for leave digitally, from any location around the globe.
