President Bola Tinubu has suspended all Social Investment Programmes by the National Social Investment Programme Agency.
The suspension is the substance of a statement the Director Information, Secretary to the Government of the Federation, Segun Imohiosen released on Friday.
It said the President’s decision stemmed from 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,” the statement read.
“President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has also raised significant concerns regarding operational lapses and improprieties surrounding payments to the programmes’ beneficiaries, ” Imohoisen added.
