Workers of the News Agency of Nigeria on Thursday accused the Integrated Personnel and Payroll Information System of effecting illegal deductions on their February salaries.
The workers, in separate interviews and written complaints, called for the refund of the deductions and a thorough investigation into what they said was a scam.
They accused IPPIS, the body charged with paying the wages of federal workers, of colluding with perpetrators of the scam, and urged leaders of their unions to take up the matter with the concerned authorities.
Collins Yakubu-Hammer, the Acting Chairman, Nigeria Union of Journalist, NAN Chapel, Abuja, described the deductions as “strange, illegal and unacceptable”.
