President Bola Tinubu has set up a special panel on social investment programmes, presidential spokesman Ajuri Ngelale said on Saturday. 

The move is a sequel to Tinubu’s suspension, for six weeks, of the four programmes under the National Social Investment Programmes Agency (NSIPA) and the panel will be led by the Coordinating Minister of the Economy and Minister of Finance Wale Edun.

“This Special Presidential Panel is tasked with immediately undertaking a comprehensive review and audit of existing financial frameworks and policy guidelines of the social investment programmes with a view to implementing a total re-engineering of the financial architecture of the programmes with detailed modification to procedures guiding the programmes’ implementation moving forward,” Ajuri said in a Saturday statement.
