President Bola Tinubu has suspended the Minister of Humanitarian Affairs and Disaster Management, Betta Edu, following her alleged 585 Million Naira scandal.
Special Adviser on Media and Publicity to the President, Ajuri Ngelale, disclosed this in a statement made available to journalists, explaining that the action is in line with the president’s commitment to uphold the highest standards of integrity, transparency and accountability in the management of the commonwealth of Nigerians.
Recall that the minister had claimed that the 585 million naira payment was meant for vulnerable groups in Ogun, Akwa Ibom, Cross Rivers and Lagos states, describing the allegations against her as baseless.
