Tinubu in First Major Step Against Corruption, Sacks New Appointee

January 2, 2024 • 1 min read

In a move some are interpreting as the first move to wage a war against corruption, Presidnt Bola Tinubu on Tuesday ordered the immediate suspension of Ms Halima Shehu as the National Coordinator and CEO of the National Social Investment Programme Agency following allegations of financial impropriety.

The suspension, prompted by concerns over financial irregularities, signifies a commitment to accountability, and Dr Akindele Egbuwalo, the National N-POWER Program Manager, steps in as the acting NC/CEO during the investigative period.

This swift action comes merely three months after Ms Halima Shehu’s Senate confirmation for the position. Known for her banking finesse and career wizardry, Shehu had previously led the show as the National Coordinator of the Conditional Cash Transfer Programme, orchestrating the program’s digital makeover.
