CONSTRAINT

Our major constraint is the non availability of operational internet connectivity in the centre. Inorder to effectively and efficiently operate on all IPPIS issues as they emanate from various staff within the Centre, there is a need to set up a good operational INTERNET connectivity in the centre, to enhance the servicing capacities and to facilitate easy access to IPPIS on-line Application software that was configured on our Laptops.

RECOMMENDATIONS

§  Network MODEMS and subscription should be provided to IPPIS Role Players in the centre as a temporary measure before the major internet connectivity is done.

§  An operational INTERNET connectivity should be provided, either by wire or by wireless. The INTERNET connectivity should be able to link Admin, Accounts, and Audit departments inorder for the IPPIS Role Players in these departments to effectively carry out their different IPPIS responsibilities. Perhaps the management could ultilize the on-going computerization project for this INTERNET connectivity, or restore the existing Wireless network in the centre.

Note:  during the training, emphasis was laid on using a non-moveable internet facility for the IPPIS Application software, they expect all MDAs that is on IPPIS to use a permanent internet connectivity that is only assessable within the centre.

Due to the fact that we do not have operational internet connectivity on ground for the immediate take off in our responsibilities, we have to beg them to pardon us and configure our laptops to allow the use of modems as a temporary measure.

The management is required to write to the Office of the Accountant-General of the federation to come and Re-install the IPPIS online Application software as soon as a better internet connectivity is available in the centre. And this will be done on official Desktop computers as they also prefer the use of Desktop computers by IPPIS Role Players rather than their personal laptops for security purpose.

CONCLUSION

The IPPIS role Players are grateful to the management for the privilege given them to participate in the IPPIS Pre-Access/Responsibility Training, once again we sincerely appreciate the cooperation, financial input, commitment and full support of the management in ensuring the regular payment of salaries to its staff, and we promise to carry out our IPPIS responsibilities in the most effective and efficient manner.
