In apparent reaction to public outcry, President Tinubu has summoned the Minister of Interior, Mr. Olubunmi Tunji-Ojo, to the Presidential Villa amidst a burgeoning scandal within the Ministry of Humanitarian Affairs.
The controversy centers on a N438 million consultancy contract awarded to New Planet Projects Ltd, a company reportedly linked to the minister.
Dr. Beta Edu, the embattled Minister of Humanitarian Affairs, faced swift suspension by President Tinubu over alleged involvement in the contentious payment.
Dr. Edu underwent interrogation earlier today at the anti-graft agency’s headquarters in Jabi, Abuja.
The escalating situation prompted the President’s intervention, with the summons aiming to address the concerning developments within the Ministry of Humanitarian Affairs.
The unfolding saga has sparked inquiries into government contract protocols and possible irregularities, amplifying calls for transparency and accountability in ministry operations.
