All employees of the Kano State Government are expected to log into the KIPPS platform and review or update their biodata before the 30th September, 2026 deadline.
Kano State Government Staff Biodata Update 2026
The staff biodata update gives Kano State Government employees an opportunity to check their personal information on the KIPPS system and make necessary corrections or additions.
The government explained that having accurate employee information will provide better and more timely data for human resource planning and management.
All Ministries, Departments and Agencies have also been directed to facilitate the participation of their staff in the exercise.

Employees can access the KIPPS biodata update platform through the official portal:
Existing users:

Staff members are advised to use the appropriate login option depending on whether they already have an account on the platform.
How to Update Your Biodata on KIPPS Portal
Kano State Government employees can follow these steps to complete the exercise:
Step 1: Access the KIPPS Portal
Open a web browser on your phone or computer and visit the KIPPS portal.
New users should use the account login page to create an account. Existing users can access the biodata update page directly.
For users who need to recover their login details, the guidance states that the KANOSG number should be used as the username, while the account number should be used as the password when applicable.
Step 2: Click on Biodata
After successfully logging into the dashboard, locate “Biodata” on the right-hand side of the dashboard.
Click on it and carefully review the information displayed in the template. Update the required sections with accurate and current information.
Employees should carefully check their entries before proceeding to the next step.
Step 3: Upload a Recent Passport Photograph
Staff are required to use a recent passport photograph where an update is necessary.
The stated maximum file size for the passport photograph is 100 KB.
If the passport photograph already on the system is current and does not need to be changed, staff are advised to leave that section blank.
Step 4: Save the Updated Information
After completing the biodata template, review the information entered to reduce the possibility of errors.
Once everything is correct, click the “Finish & Save” button to submit and save the updated information.
