Nigerian President Bola Tinubu has suspended all Social Investment Programmes by the National Social Investment Programme Agency.
The Director of Information, Secretary to the Government of the Federation, Segun Imohiosen, said the President’s decision was because of the “ongoing investigation of alleged malfeasance in the management of the agency and its programmes.”
“All four programmes administered by NSIPA, viz; N- Power Programme, Conditional Cash Transfer Programme, Government Enterprise and Empowerment Programme and Home Grown School Feeding Programme have been suspended for a period of six weeks in the first instance.
President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has also raised significant concerns regarding operational lapses and improprieties surrounding payments to the programmes’ beneficiaries” the statement read.
