The arrest of the Accountant-General of the Federation, Ahmed Idris, by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, has bolstered the Academic Staff Union of Universities’ (ASUU) belief that IPPIS is a scam.
This was remarked in response to Idris’ detention for suspected money laundering and diversion of N80 billion.
In an interview with Newsmen, ASUU President Prof. Emmanuel Osodeke emphasized that the matter should not be hidden, claiming that IPPIS is a deception utilized by the Accountant-General to steal monies rather than prevent corruption.

He said: “We have said it over and over again that IPPIS is a fraud. We’ve also said that the Accountant-General office is a fraud, and they are using IPPIS to relocate all the fraud activities to one centre, which is the Accountant-General Office and we have been vindicated. That’s our position.”
Osodeke demanded that the EFCC should take the Accountant-General to court, adding that “corrupt persons deserve punishment in line with Buhari’s administration’s vision.
“This IPPIS, I can tell you as we speak, that many of our members have not been paid for 13 months, 8 months, 9 months, but they’re telling the government that they are using it to control corruption.”
