Fake Agencies: Tinubu Orders Forensic Sweep of IPPIS, Ministries, FG Institutions

President Bola Tinubu has ordered a forensic audit of various Federal Government systems, including the Integrated Personnel and Payroll Information System (IPPIS), federal government agencies, and their internal controls. The audit, which will be led by the Minister of Finance, Mr. Taiwo Oyedele, aims to establish the nature and extent of weaknesses in government's control system and determine how these weaknesses have been exploited.

The exercise will focus on a forensic audit of government systems, particularly IPPIS and related payroll, personnel, pension, and financial-management platforms, as well as a comprehensive review of all federal government agencies, departments, commissions, councils, parastatals, and other bodies. The audit is a response to findings by the Independent Corrupt Practices and Other Related Offences Commission (ICPC) on fake agencies, ghost workers, and other control failures.

President Tinubu emphasized that national security remains crucial for achieving Nigeria's economic ambitions and lasting prosperity, and he stressed the need for unity within the All Progressives Congress (APC) as preparations intensify for the 2027 general election.
