The suspended minister, at 37, the youngest in the President's cabinet, faces allegations of approving funds for vulnerable groups to be transferred to a private account, contrary to established rules. The President has directed the EFCC Chairman to conduct a thorough investigation into the financial transactions of the ministry, emphasizing the need for transparency.
Additionally, a panel led by the Coordinating Minister of the Economy and Minister of Finance has been tasked with conducting a comprehensive diagnostic on the financial architecture of social investment programs. The goal is to reform relevant institutions and programs, aiming to eliminate institutional frailties and restore public confidence in these initiatives. CONTINUE READING.....
The President has instructed Edu to cooperate fully with investigating authorities and hand over responsibilities to the Permanent Secretary of the ministry during the probe. The situation adds to the challenges faced by the ruling All Progressive Congress (APC) and raises questions about the management of crucial social programs under Edu's leadership.
