The Empowerment for Unemployed Youths Initiative has commended President Bola Tinubu for acting decisively to address the fraud and corruption in the Ministry of Humanitarian Affairs and Poverty Alleviation.
The group said Nigeria now has a president who is committed to fighting corruption.
It urged Nigerians to be vigilant and report cases of corruption and abuse of office to the appropriate authorities.
National Coordinator of the group, Danesi Momoh and Director, Research and Programmes, Igwe Ude-Umanta, praised President Tinubu for “his courage and forthrightness but asked him to go a step further and sanction the Permanent Secretary of the Ministry of Humanitarian Affairs and Poverty Alleviation too.
“Nigeria now has a President who is committed to fighting corruption and vigorously pursuing the renewed hope agenda. We must use to opportunity to purge our country of corrupt and inefficient leaders who are only after looting our commonwealth.
“We also call for the suspension and subject the Permanent Secretary, Mr. Abel Olumuyiwa Enitan to thorough probe.
“It is not possible for the Permanent Secretary to be uninvolved or unaware of the sleaze that happened in a ministry where he is the Chief Accounting Officer and highest ranking Civil Servant. He, therefore, cannot be absolved without a deliberate scrutiny to his less than impressive roles.
