…..Witchhunts Suspended NSIPA Boss For Refusing to Compromise- Close Sources*...CONTINUE READING
Close sources have revealed that the suspended NSIPA Boss, Halima Shehu has been witnessing series of witch haunting from the Minister of Humanitarian Affairs, Disaster Management and Social Development, Betta Edu ever since the suspended NSIPA Boss vowed not to compromise since her assumption of office as she realized that Betta Edu removed over three billion Naira (N3BN) in one month for National Social Register (NSR) Verification without proof or authorization from the NSIPA account without the knowledge of the NSIPA boss.
To prevent more funds from being illegally moved from the Agency’s account without proof. Shehu transferred the remaining funds left in the accounts meant for Government Enterprise and Empowerment Programme (GEEP) and Grants for Vulnerable Groups (GVG) to protect the money for being squandered. The funds are under the coffers of the Federal Government. Since all these Monies were withdrawn from the NSIPA account without the knowledge of the suspended NSIPA boss who is the chief accounting officer of the Agency.
Sources close to Halima Shehu say her stand not to compromise triggered Betta Edu’s action in setting her up and turning the tables which resulted to Halima Shehu’s unconstitutional suspension by a letter sent by the Minister herself instead of the Presidency which has sparked reactions from Human Rights Activists, Civil Societies and Concerned Nigerians.
Interestingly, Shehu is currently being interrogated at the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission and she has made eye opening evidences available to them
Halima Shehu who is fondly called Mrs Transparent reaffirmed her resolve to ensure accountability and transparency in the implementation of the $800 million World Bank Conditional Cash Transfer (CCT) programme while giving update on the role of the NSIPA in poverty alleviation under President Bola Tinubu’s ‘Renewed Hope Agenda’.
She has always described NSIPA as the human face of the Renewed Hope Agenda of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, which would be taken seriously by the Agency.
Upon her resumption into office Halima has been working round the clock to ensure she doesn’t leave any stone unturned in the fight against poverty as directed by President Bola Ahmed Tinubu.
