Nigeria Launches IPPIS HR Modules for Civil Service

The Federal Government of Nigeria officially launched the Human Resource (HR) Modules of the Integrated Personnel and Payroll Information System (IPPIS) on Tuesday, marking a significant advancement in the modernization of the Federal Civil Service through digital transformation. The Go-Live ceremony, organized by the Office of the Head of the Civil Service of the Federation (OHCSF), aims to strengthen human resource management, improve transparency, and enhance service delivery.

Head of the Civil Service, Mrs Didi Esther Walson-Jack, described the launch as a watershed moment in the Federal Civil Service Reform Agenda, addressing challenges from fragmented personnel records. The modules include biometric enrolment, payroll administration, and workforce analytics, serving over 508 Ministries, Extra-Ministerial Departments, and Agencies (MDAs).

The initiative aligns with the Nigeria First Policy, promoting local technological expertise. Prof.

Tunji Olaopa, Chairman of the Federal Civil Service Commission, noted that the new HR Modules would empower over 600,000 civil servants to manage their records electronically. Dr Bisi Aina from Soft Alliance and Resources Limited contributed to the deployment of the system.
