President Bola Tinubu has suspended Halima Shehu, national coordinator of the National Social Investment Programme Agency, over financial misappropriation.
Tinubu, according to reports, approved Shehu’s suspension with immediate effect and ordered her replacement.
With the suspension and investigation into the allegations, Dr Akindele Egbuwalo, the National N-POWER Program Manager, has been appointed in an acting capacity as NC/CEO pending the conclusion of the investigation.
The development came barely two months after the Senate confirmed Shehu as the national coordinator of NSIPA.
Recall that on October 12 2023, Tinubu approved the appointment of Shehu.
