About 17,000 affected federal civil servants from across the country were required to go to Abuja for the exercise; meanwhile, their salaries had been delayed.

According to a circular, all the affected workers are mandated to show up for a physical exercise in Abuja from Monday, October 16 to Friday, October 27, 2023, at the Public Service Institute of Nigeria (PSIN), Kubwa Expressway, Abuja.

The registration exercise for the IPPIS started in May 2017 and it was repeated in subsequent years and concluded in April 2023.
