The Association of Senior Civil Servants of Nigeria (ASCSN), says it has uncovered the delisting of over 17,000 of its members from the Integrated Payroll and Personnel Information System (IPPIS) portal, and replaced by Special Assistants and Personal Assistants of government officials.
The President of ASCSN, Tommy Okon, who raised the alarm during a press conference in Abuja on Tuesday, said the affected workers were taken advantage of due to ignorance and their failure to adhere to government directives to go for a verification exercise and update their documents.
In a letter addressed to the Head of Service of the Federation (HoSF), Dr. Yemi Esan, Okon said the affected employees were erroneously omitted from the IPPIS portal, and urged them to forward their documents for update, provided they had genuine cases.
