President Tinubu Takes Swift Action Against Alleged Corruption in Cabinet
In a decisive move to maintain the highest standards of integrity and transparency in Nigeria's governance, President Bola Tinubu has suspended Dr. Betta Edu, Minister of Humanitarian Affairs and Poverty Alleviation, over corruption allegations.
President Tinubu has mandated the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) to conduct a thorough investigation into financial transactions related to the Federal Ministry of Humanitarian Affairs and Poverty Alleviation. The suspended minister is directed to cooperate fully and hand over responsibilities to the Permanent Secretary.
Simultaneously, a panel, led by the Coordinating Minister of the Economy and Minister of Finance, has been tasked with conducting a comprehensive diagnostic on the financial framework of social investment programs. The goal is to reform relevant institutions and programs, eliminating institutional frailties to exclusively benefit disadvantaged households and regain public confidence.
These directives, effective immediately, underscore President Tinubu's commitment to accountability and reform in the interest of Nigeria's citizens. Stay tuned for further updates on this unfolding situation.
