Halima Shehu, the national coordinator of the National Social Investment Program Agency, has been placed under suspension by President Bola Ahmed Tinubu due to financial embezzlement.
This happened just two months following Shehu’s confirmation by the Senate to serve as NSIPA’s national coordinator.
Dr. Akindele Egbuwalo, the National N-POWER Program Manager, has been appointed in an acting capacity as NC/CEO until the investigation into the claims is concluded, due to the suspension of the program.
Tinubu gave his approval for Shehu’s appointment on October 12, 2023.
