FG has clarified that it didn’t give any order to transfer civil servants’ salary accounts from GTB to another banking institution.
It said this in response to a viral WhatsApp message that read:
The message had emanated from a media report with the headline ‘FG gives civil servants two weeks ultimatum to move their salary account from GTB to another bank’.
The media outlet has, however, deleted the report.
The GTB spokesperson, Cornelius Onuoha, called the report “completely untrue” in an interview with TheCable.
Additionally, Bawa Mokwa, director of press and public relations in the federation’s accountant general’s office, refuted the report in a statement dated November 4.
Mokwa claimed that government employees had not received any directives to change the financial institutions associated with their salary accounts in the Integrated Personnel and Payroll Information System.
According to the OAGF, the IPPIS office has not issued any general orders to this effect because there is no basis for such a directive, and any request to switch salary accounts is still up to the individual employee.
Additionally, the OAGF recommended employees who might have good cause to modify their salary accounts on the IPPIS platform to adhere to the formal protocols.
