President Bola Tinubu has appointed Badamasi Lawal as the new Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of the National Social Investment Programme Agency (NSIPA).

This was disclosed in a statement by the spokesman of the president, Chief Ajuri Ngegale.

The appointment is coming following the suspension of the former NSIPA boss, Halima Shehu, on January 2 due to allegations of financial recklessness.

“To facilitate the needed relief to Nigerians and ensure the effectiveness of humanitarian and social development programmes, President Bola Tinubu has approved the appointment of seven qualified Nigerians to head strategic agencies and programmes under the Federal Ministry of Humanitarian Affairs, Disaster Management and Social Development,” the statement reads.

The newly appointed leaders include:

– Funmilola Olotu as Programme Manager, National Social Safety-Net Coordinating Office

– Aishat Alubankudi as Programme Manager, Grant for Vulnerable Groups

– Princess Aderemi Adebowale as Programme Manager, Home Grown School Feeding

– Abdullahi Alhassan Imam as Programme Manager, National Cash Transfer Office

– Ayuba Gufwan as Executive Secretary, National Commission for People with Disabilities

– Lami Binta Adamu Bello as Director General, National Agency for the Prohibition of Trafficking in Persons

“The President expects the new heads of these critical agencies and programmes to discharge the functions of their offices with utmost integrity and diligence so as to ensure that Nigerians, especially vulnerable groups, are the exclusive and direct beneficiaries of his administration’s reconfigured welfare programmes”, Ngelale added.

Meanwhile, these appointments are part of President Tinubu’s broader strategy to enhance the efficiency and impact of social and humanitarian programs across the country.
