Alleged Fraud: Betta Edu Deserves Commendation over Ongoing Reforms of Social Investment Program, Says Grou
An advocacy group known as Forum of Lawyers for Human Rights and Justice, has said that the Honourable Minister of Humanitarian Affairs, Dr Betta Edu, deserves commendation over her ongoing reforms of National Social Investment Programme to align with President Bola Ahmed Tinubu renewed hope agenda.
The group’s statement came on the heels of claims connecting the Honourable Minister to alleged financial impropriety within the National Social Investment Programme Agency (NSIPA).
The group in a press release signed by its convener, Barr. KD. Okere, said the recent reports inaccurately linking the minister to the ongoing investigations involving the alleged removal of funds by Hajiya Halima Shehu, the sacked National Coordinator of NSIPA, are being peddled by looters of palliatives who are against the minister and President Tinubu’s government.
He noted that within few months in office, Betta Edu has made significant contributions to the growth and development of the nation, through her reforms in the federal government’s social investment program and the humanitarian ministry, hence deserves commendation.
He stated that her unwavering commitment over the months to alleviating the plight of the most vulnerable Nigerians is worthy of note.
According to him, since her assumption of office, the minister wasted no time in translating the renewed hope agenda into action, spearheading transformative initiatives that have brought about positive change in the ministry.
He urged President Bola Ahmed Tinubu to ignore those calling for her sack, adding that she has done tremendously well, hence why looters of palliatives who are against President Tinubu’s government are coming up with false accusation, in a bid to bring her down.
