The Minister of Interior, Hon. Olubunmi Tunji-Ojo, has ordered a full investigation into allegations of salary deductions and delays in the payment of promotion arrears affecting personnel of agencies under the Ministry of Interior, managed through the Integrated Payroll and Personnel Information System (IPPIS).

A statement issued on Sunday by Ahmed Ja’afaru, Secretary to the Civil Defence, Correctional, Fire and Immigration Services Board (CDCFIB), urged the affected personnel to remain patient while the government looks into the matter.

The statement addressed online complaints from officers within paramilitary services, including the Nigerian Correctional Service (NCoS), Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps (NSCDC), Nigerian Immigration Service (NIS), and Federal Fire Service (FFS).

These complaints involved alleged salary deductions by IPPIS, as well as delays in the payment of promotion arrears.

In response, Hon. Tunji-Ojo has directed the Board to conduct a thorough investigation into these claims.

The Minister has assured the officers that the issue will be resolved quickly and positively.

Reports indicate that some personnel have begun organizing protests over the alleged salary discrepancies, citing underpayments and overdue promotion arrears.

They expressed frustration, claiming they were financially disadvantaged despite government-approved entitlements, with some even accusing IPPIS of victimizing them amid tough economic conditions.

The spokesman for the Office of the Accountant-General of the Federation, Bawa Mokwa, responded to these claims by stating that the promotion arrears were being paid in installments, based on available funding.

He emphasized that this situation was not unique to the paramilitary agencies but applied to other sectors as well.
