The federal government has disclosed plans to resume the intervention schemes coordinated by the national social investment programme agency (NSIPA).
Mohammed Idris, the minister of information and national orientation, spoke on Saturday during an interview programme on Radio Nigeria in Kaduna.
The minister did not stay when the programmes will recommence.
On January 12, President Bola Tinubu suspended all programmes administered by NSIPA for six weeks, as part of a probe of alleged malfeasance in the management of the agency and its programmes.
Tinubu, had on January 2, suspended Halima Shehu as the chief executive officer (CEO) of NSIPA over alleged financial malfeasance.
The president also suspended Betta Edu as minister of humanitarian affairs and poverty alleviation on January 8. Edu’s ministry supervises the operations of the NSIPA.
The programmes affected include the N-Power, the conditional cash transfer (CCT), the government enterprise and empowerment programme, and the home-grown school feeding initiative.
On March 13, the house of representatives asked the federal government to resume the implementation of the suspended social investment initiatives.
Speaking during the interview, Idris said the committee set up by Tinubu to review the operational mechanism of the national social investment programme has submitted its report to pave the way for the resumption of the programmes.
According to the minister, 15 million vulnerable households will receive N25,000 conditional cash transfers for three months among other interventions.
