President Tinubu Suspends National Social Investment Programmes Pending Investigation

President Bola Tinubu has announced the suspension of all programs administered by the National Social Investment Programme Agency (NSIPA), including N-Power, Conditional Cash Transfer, Government Enterprise and Empowerment Programme, and Home Grown School Feeding Programme. This decision follows ongoing investigations into alleged malfeasance in the management of the agency and its programs.

"President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has also raised significant concerns regarding operational lapses and improprieties surrounding payments to the Programs’ beneficiaries." - Segun Imohiosen, Director of Information, Office of Secretary to the Government of the Federation

The suspension, initially for six weeks, aims to allow for a thorough review of NSIPA's operations and pave the way for necessary reforms. A ministerial panel has been constituted to conduct the review and make recommendations. During the suspension period, all NSIPA-related activities, including distributions, events, payments, collaborations, and registrations, will be frozen.

"The President wishes to assure the stakeholders and all Nigerians that his administration remains committed to a swift and unbiased process that will ensure that, going forward, social intervention programmes will work exactly as intended, to the benefit of the most vulnerable Nigerians." - Segun Imohiosen
