ABUJA — The Accountant-General of the Federation, Mr. Ahmed Idris, has applauded the Nigeria Police for keying into the Integrate Personnel Payroll Information System, IPPIS, and other Public Finance Reforms initiatives being implemented by the Office of the Accountant-General of the Federation, OAGF.
Mr Idris spoke when he received the Inspector General of Police, Mr Mr. Ibrahim Idris, who was at the Treasury House on a courtesy visit, in Abuja, yesterday, according to a statement by the Assistant Director (Press) of the OAGF, Mr. Rotimi Ajayi.
According to the AGF, the Police have now been fully integrated into the TSA and are currently being enrolled on the IPPIS platform, which according to him, would help to effectively manage the wage burden of the government.
In his remarks, the IG expressed appreciation to the Accountant-General and his team for the support the Nigeria Police have been receiving from the office.
Describing the Nigeria Police as the largest single agency of government in Nigeria and Africa, with the highest number of employees nearing over 300,000 personnel, IG said maintaining and running their operation can be quite challenging and requires the support of other government agencies especially, in the areas of release of funds, to ensure the success of security operations in the country.
