BREAKING: Tinubu orders comprehensive audit of IPPIS to weed out ‘fake agencies, ghost workers’

President Bola Tinubu has directed Taiwo Oyedele, minister of finance and co-ordinating minister of the economy, to oversee and coordinate a comprehensive forensic audit of federal government systems.

Bayo Onanuga, presidential spokesperson, said in a statement on Friday that the audit will include a review of the Integrated Personnel and Payroll Information System (IPPIS), federal government agencies, and their administration and internal controls.

According to Onanuga, the directive follows the federal executive council’s (FEC) resolution on August 19, 2026, in response to findings by the Independent Corrupt Practices and Other Related Offences Commission (ICPC) on “fake agencies”, ghost workers, and other control failures.(TheCable)
