Barely three months in office, Ms Halima Shehu, the Chief Executive Officer of the National Social Investment Programme Agency (NSIPA), has been suspended.

Citing financial impropriety, a government statement on Tuesday said President Bola Tinubu has ordered an investigation into her activities in the agency.

Dr Akindele Egbuwalo, the National N-Power Programme Manager, has been directed to take over from her.
