President Bola Tinubu has taken a decisive action, suspending all programmes administered by the National Social Investment Programme Agency (NSIPA).
This move comes in response to the ongoing investigations into alleged malfeasance within the agency and its initiatives.
For a period of six weeks, all NSIPA-administered programmes, including N-Power, Conditional Cash Transfer, Government Enterprise and Empowerment, and Home-Grown School Feeding are on hold.
He expressed grave concerns over operational lapses and improprieties in payments to programme beneficiaries.
To address these issues, the President has formed a ministerial panel tasked with a comprehensive review of NSIPA’s operations, aiming to recommend essential reforms.
During the suspension, all NSIPA-related activities are frozen, with assurances from the president of a swift and impartial process.
Simultaneously, President Tinubu announced the appointment of eleven new Chief Executive Officers for agencies under the Federal Ministry of Art, Culture and Creative Economy.
These appointments are part of a broader effort to revitalize the creative sector, with the mandate for appointees to discharge their duties with the utmost professionalism, diligence and patriotism.
