Due to accusations of financial misbehavior, President Bola Tinubu has suspended Ms. Halima Shehu, the CEO and National Coordinator of the National Social Investment Programme Agency (NSIPA).This came about only three months after the Senate confirmed Shehu for the role.
Dr. Akindele Egbuwalo, the National N-POWER Programme Manager, has been designated as the agency's acting head while inquiries into the situation are being conducted.
Shehu was the Conditional Cash Transfer Program's National Coordinator. She oversaw the program's digitalization using her background in banking and professional development.
From 2017 to 2022, she was employed at the Federal Ministry of Social Development, Disaster Management, and Humanitarian Affairs.
