The study attempted to evaluate the effect of government implementation of IPPIS on the welfare of staff through membership in cooperatives among university staff. Questionnaire was used to elicit information among members of the four cooperative societies in Obafemi Awolowo University, Ile-Ife. The result indicated that the implementation of IPPIS is a threat to their continuous membership in their various cooperatives. This was presumed to lead to the collapse of the cooperatives, an action that sends a signal of a worsening welfare of workers. This was because of the delay that they have being witnessing whenever they apply for loans. It was also reported that payment of the check off dues to cooperatives is no longer regular from the IPPIS office. Likewise, members complain of series of deductions that do not have justification that made them unqualified for loan application in their cooperatives. The study therefore concluded that the policy of government in the introduction of IPPIS has not really stand to promote welfare of staff. It was therefore recommended that the policy administration should have offices in each of the state of the federation.
