N3 Billion Scam: Beta Edu fingered
Humanitarian Affairs Minister, Beta Edu Allegedly Withdraws N3 Billion in a Month , Triggers NSPIPA Boss Suspension Amidst Transparency Rift
Shocking revelations have emerged regarding Dr. Betta Edu, the Minister of Humanitarian Affairs and Poverty Alleviation, who allegedly withdrew a staggering sum of N3 billion from the National Social Investment Programme Agency (NSIPA) within just one month.
According to insiders at the agency, this large withdrawal sparked a contentious dispute between the Minister and the suspended NSIPA National Coordinator/CEO, Hajia Halima Shehu. Shehu reportedly resisted the unjust depletion of public funds under the guise of National Social Register (NSR) Verification, without proper evidence or authorization from the NSIPA account.
Insiders revealed that the funds were withdrawn without the knowledge of the NSIPA boss. To safeguard against further unauthorized withdrawals, the NSIPA Accounting Officer decided to secure the remaining funds in safe custody. Hajia Shehu, the suspended NSIPA boss, redirected the remaining funds from accounts designated for Government Enterprise and Empowerment Programme (GEEP) and Grants for Vulnerable Groups (GVG) to protect them from misuse.
