Ex-NSIPA Boss Halima Shehu Denies Diverting ₦44bn, Demands Probe Findings

Ex-NSIPA Boss Halima Shehu Denies Diverting ₦44bn, Demands Probe Findings

Former NSIPA chief Halima Shehu has denied diverting ₦44 billion from the agency’s social intervention funds. She said neither she nor her family members, friends or associates received any of the money under investigation. Shehu said she discovered financial irregularities after taking office and reported them to the relevant authorities. According to her, some fund transfers were made without her approval, while certain programme managers operated outside NSIPA’s established framework. She said she petitioned the EFCC and ICPC over the alleged breaches of due process, but was suspended about 10 weeks later. Shehu urged the Federal Government to publish the findings of its NSIPA investigation, insisting that investigators found no public funds in her accounts or those linked to her relatives.

What specific probe findings is Shehu asking to see, and will they address the irregularities she says she discovered?

Exactly, the findings should clear the air properly and show whether the alleged irregularities were addressed.

The denial is broad, especially with her saying relatives, friends, and associates received none of the funds under investigation.

A public denial alone cannot settle a ₦44 billion allegation; the actual investigation record still matters more than competing statements.

Authorities should release a clear, lawful summary of findings, timelines, and accountability steps so the public can assess the claims fairly.
