Tinubu Orders Comprehensive Audit of IPPIS to Weed Out ‘Fake Agencies, Ghost Workers’

The review will also map all federal bodies and verify their legal basis after ICPC findings on fake agencies and ghost workers.

  • On Friday, President Bola Tinubu ordered a comprehensive forensic audit of the Integrated Personnel and Payroll Information System and federal agencies to combat payroll fraud and ghost workers.
  • Following the Federal Executive Council's August 19, 2026 resolution, the audit responds to Independent Corrupt Practices and Other Related Offences Commission findings concerning "fake agencies" and control failures.
  • Investigators will examine interfaces between IPPIS, GIFMIS, Remita, and the Treasury Single Account to determine if fraud resulted from system defects or process failures.
  • A second component verifies the legal status of all Federal Government bodies, establishing an inventory and examining how entities obtain official recognition and access to government resources.
  • Coordinating Minister of the Economy Taiwo Oyedele will lead the audit, which aims to establish the nature and extent of weaknesses in the government's control system.
