President Bola Tinubu has ordered the suspension of all programmes administered by the National Social Investment Programme Agency (NSIPA).

Segun Imohiosen, Director of Information, Office of the Secretary to the Government of the Federation SGF, said this is further to the ongoing investigation of alleged malfeasance in managing the agency and its programmes.

The Statement noted that ” All four (4) Programmes administered by NSIPA, viz; N-Power Programme, Conditional Cash Transfer Programme, Government Enterprise and Empowerment Programme and Home Grown School Feeding Programme have been suspended for six (6) weeks in the first instance.
