The Federal Government has uncovered at least 54,000 fraudulent payroll entries in its Integrated Personnel and Payroll Information System, IPPIS.

National Security Adviser, Babagana Monguno, who disclosed this at the National Policy Dialogue on Corruption and Security, noted that it was discovered through the whistle-blowing policy.

Monguno stressed that the deployment of the Bank Verification Number, BVN, to validate the Federal Government’s stance on the payment platform led to the detection.

He attributed the discovery to the expansion of the coverage of IPPIS against stiff opposition from some quarters.
