It says that although there was no evidence of “salary padding” before the OAGF at this time; however, the Office is aware of a reported breach of the IPPIS third-party payment protocol at an Institute outside Abuja.

It adds that the incident has since been reported to and investigated by relevant anti-corruption, security and regulatory agencies.

In the meantime, a staff suspected to be connected with the breach has been suspended to allow for a thorough investigation.

The Office indicates that all necessary steps are being taken to strengthen the controls around the IPPIS payment platform. At the same time, the independent forensic audit of the entire payroll system will help to ascertain if the reported breach is isolated or widespread.
