Rule of Law and Anti-corruption (RoLAC) has called on the Federal Government to ensure full implementation of report recommendations expected from the presidential panel set up to investigate the suspended National Social Investment Programme Agency (NSIPA).
National Programme Manager of the anti-corruption body, Danladi Plang, made the call in an interview with The Guardian on the suspension of NSIPA by President Bola Tinubu, yesterday in Abuja.
He observed that while government’s actions on recent financial misappropriation and corruption allegations in the Federal Ministry of Humanitarian Affairs and Poverty Alleviation are commendable, it is important to ensure that recommendations expected to be submitted by the NSIPA Presidential investigation panel are implemented to deter others running foul or intending to go into acts of financial misappropriation.
“While we applaud the action being taken, our expectations is that it will not stop at just suspension of payments of officials or setting up of an investigation panel, but that government should go the extra mile and ensure that the panel that has been set up does its work and that the government is able to act on the recommendations that will be given by the panel.”
