President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has taken the bold step of suspending all programs administered by the National Social Investment Programme Agency (NSIPA), according to a statement released by the Federal Government.


The decision, conveyed by the Director of Information, Secretary to the Government of the Federation, Segun Imohiosen, is a response to the ongoing investigation into alleged malfeasance within the agency and its various programs.


The suspension, effective for an initial period of six weeks, encompasses all four programs overseen by NSIPA: the N-Power Programme, Conditional Cash Transfer Programme, Government Enterprise and Empowerment Programme, and Home Grown School Feeding Programme.


The statement issued by Imohiosen emphasized President Tinubu's concerns about operational lapses and improprieties surrounding payments to beneficiaries of these programs.


To address these concerns, President Tinubu has appointed a ministerial panel tasked with conducting a thorough review of NSIPA's operations and recommending necessary reforms.


During the suspension period, all activities related to NSIPA, including distributions, events, payments, collaborations, and registrations, are to be temporarily halted.
