The Presidency has vowed not to spare anyone found culpable in the ongoing investigation of the Ministry of Humanitarian Affairs and Poverty Alleviation and its Social Investment Programmes.
The Special Adviser to the President on Media and Publicity, Mr Ajuri Ngelale, said this when he spoke on TVC’s Politics on Sunday.
While suspending the Minister of Humanitarian Affairs and Poverty Alleviation, Betta Edu, on January 7, Tinubu had directed the Chairman of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission to “conduct a thorough investigation into all aspects of the financial transactions involving the Federal Ministry of Humanitarian Affairs and Poverty Alleviation, as well as one or more agencies there under.”
He also tasked a panel headed by the Coordinating Minister of the Economy and Minister of Finance, Mr Wale Edun, to conduct a comprehensive diagnostic on the financial architecture and framework of the social investment programmes to conclusively reform the relevant institutions and programmes.
The objective is to eliminate all institutional frailties for the exclusive benefit of disadvantaged households and win back lost public confidence in the initiative.
