President Bola Tinubu has directed the Minister of Finance and Coordinating Minister of the Economy, Taiwo Oyedele, to oversee a comprehensive forensic audit of Federal Government systems, including the Integrated Personnel and Payroll Information System.
The directive was contained in a statement signed by the president’s Special Adviser on Information and Strategy, Bayo Onanuga, on Friday.
According to the statement, the audit will cover IPPIS, Federal Government agencies and their administration and internal controls.
The directive followed the Federal Executive Council’s resolution of August 19, 2026, in response to findings by the Independent Corrupt Practices and Other Related Offences Commission on “fake agencies”, ghost workers and other control failures.
