Federal civil servants are required to complete their identity verification by February 17, 2025, as part of the government's initiative to eliminate ghost workers.
This information was outlined in a memo from the Office of the Accountant-General of the Federation, which was reviewed by our correspondent on Saturday.
Civil servants must verify their identities through the Integrated Payroll and Personnel Information System portal, as the government plans to suspend salaries and impose other penalties on those identified as ghost workers.
Our correspondent has reported that civil servants are urgently working to obtain their Taxpayers Identification Number in order to meet the impending deadline.
