The President stated this during the presentation of the 2021 budget entitled: "Budget of Recovery and Resilience" at the National Assembly.

According to him: "To check the incidence of payments to non-existent personnel and unauthorised allowances, only Federal staff that have been captured on the Integrated Personnel Payroll Information System (‘IPPIS’) platform will receive salaries. 

"All agencies have been directed to ensure that they obtain all necessary approvals before embarking on any fresh recruitment. Any breach of these directives will be severely sanctioned."
