dc.description.abstractInability of previous reforms to address lack of transparency and accountability in the Nigerian public sector led to the introduction of Integrated Payroll and Personnel Information System (IPPIS) whose efficacy was also wrapped in absurdity. On one hand, there have been reports by the Federal government on how successful the implementation of the program has been in terms of cash savings and reduction in ghost worker conversely, (civil servants complained of its poor implementation which had resulted into series of industrial actions and death in some cases. This study therefore evaluates the performance of IPPIS with respect to achieving accountability in the Nigerian public sector. The primary data used were obtained from administration of Four hundred (400) copies of the questionnaire to six (6) identified categories of stakeholders under IPPIS. Skewness, Kurtosis and Cronbach Alpha test were conducted to establish Normality and reliability of the data which was later analyzed using Pearson Product Moment Correlation. The study revealed that only regular payment of authorized salary to IPPIS enrollees contributes positively significantly to accountability while personnel information is inadequate and the payment process, data integrity and record update have negative impact on accountability. IPPIS on the whole has negative but insignificant impact on accountability. Improvement in personnel information, data integrity, payment process and record update are recommended while the Federal government should ensure judicious usage of recovered funds if the much desired accountability in the name IPPIS is to be achieved.en_US
