Former National Coordinator and Chief Executive Officer of the National Social Investment Programme Agency, NSIPA, Halima Shehu, has maintained that she never diverted N44 billion into any personal account.
Recall that in January 2024, President Bola Tinubu suspended Shehu three months into her appointment over alleged unauthorised withdrawals from NSIPA accounts.
Speaking during an interview on ARISE TV on Monday, Shehu said the allegations were false, maintaining that investigations by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) did not recover any money from her or members of her family.
Shehu said she had written to President Tinubu, the EFCC, the Secretary to the Government of the Federation and the Minister of Humanitarian Affairs, seeking the conclusion of investigations and the restoration of her reputation.
