President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has suspended the National Social Investment Programme Agency’s (NSIPA) administered programs, including N-Power and conditional cash transfer. The suspension is in response to ongoing investigations into alleged malfeasance in the agency’s management. The President raised concerns about operational lapses and improprieties in payments to program beneficiaries. A ministerial panel has been constituted to conduct a thorough review of NSIPA’s operations and recommend necessary reforms. During the six-week suspension, all NSIPA-related activities are frozen. Tinubu reassured stakeholders of his commitment to a swift and unbiased process to ensure effective social intervention programs for vulnerable Nigerians. The CEO of NSIPA, Halima Shehu, was suspended earlier due to alleged financial malfeasance, and Dr. Akindele Egbuwalo is appointed as the acting NC/CEO during the investigation.
