President Bola Tinubu prioritizes integrity, transparency, and accountability in managing Nigeria’s commonwealth
President Bola Tinubu has taken decisive action by suspending the Minister of Humanitarian Affairs and Poverty Alleviation, Dr. Betta Edu, from office with immediate effect. This breaking development underscores President Tinubu’s unwavering commitment to upholding the highest standards of integrity, transparency, and accountability in the administration of Nigeria’s resources.
According to an official statement released today, President Tinubu has directed the Executive Chairman of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) to launch a thorough investigation into all financial transactions associated with the Federal Ministry of Humanitarian Affairs and Poverty Alleviation, including one or more agencies falling under its purview.
The suspended Minister, Dr. Betta Edu, has been instructed to hand over her duties to the Permanent Secretary of the Federal Ministry of Humanitarian Affairs and Poverty Alleviation. Additionally, President Tinubu has called for Dr. Edu’s full cooperation with the investigating authorities throughout the course of their inquiry.
In a move to address systemic issues, President Tinubu has established a panel led by the Coordinating Minister of the Economy and Minister of Finance. This panel is tasked with conducting a comprehensive diagnostic assessment of the financial architecture and framework governing the social investment programs. The overarching goal is to institute reforms that eliminate institutional frailties, ensuring the exclusive benefit of disadvantaged households and rebuilding lost public confidence in the initiative.
These directives from President Tinubu, effective immediately, mark a significant step towards maintaining accountability in government operations and fostering public trust. As the investigations unfold, Nigerians await the outcomes that will shape the trajectory of the nation’s humanitarian efforts and poverty alleviation programs.
