The resolution is awaiting the results of the inquiry into the accusations against Halima Shehu. In response to the National Social Investment Programme Agency (NSIPA) developments, President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has given the green light to Dr. Akindele Egbuwalo’s appointment as the Acting Chief Executive Officer (CEO) and National Coordinator. This decision follows the suspension of Halima Shehu, the former NSIPA head, who faced charges of corruption and financial impropriety.
President Tinubu, who designated Shehu in October 2023, confirmed her position through Senate approval on October 18, 2023.
Dr. Egbuwalo, previously the National N-Power Programme manager, now takes on the responsibility of leading NSIPA in an acting capacity. The final decision is contingent on the outcome of investigations into the allegations against Halima Shehu.
