Suspension of N-Power, School Feeding, and Other Programmes by Tinubu


President Bola Tinubu has announced the suspension of all the Social Investment Programmes (SIP) overseen by the National Social Investment Programme Agency (NSIPA).

Confirming this decision, the Director Information, Secretary to the Government of the Federation, Segun Imohiosen, stated that the President’s action was taken in light of the “ongoing investigation of alleged malfeasance in the management of the agency and its programmes.”

The statement further disclosed that all four programmes administered by NSIPA, namely the N-Power Programme, Conditional Cash Transfer Programme, Government Enterprise and Empowerment Programme, and Home Grown School Feeding Programme, have been suspended for an initial period of six weeks.

“President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has also raised significant concerns regarding operational lapses and improprieties surrounding payments to the programmes’ beneficiaries,” added Imohoisen.

Tinubu has additionally instituted a ministerial panel to conduct a thorough review of the agency’s operations and recommend necessary reforms for the NSIPA.

During this period of suspension, all NSIPA-related activities, including but not limited to distributions, events, payments, collaborations, and registrations, are now frozen.
