3. Humanitarian Ministry Reacts To Accusations Stating That Politicians Looting SIP Funds
The Humanitarian Ministry has reacted to the accusations stating that politicians under Buhari Administration are looting SIP Funds.
According to the Federal Ministry of Humanitarian Affairs, Disaster Management and Social Development (FMHADMSD):
The attention of the Federal Ministry of Humanitarian Affairs, Disaster Management and Social Development is drawn to a statement credited to the Bauchi State Governor, His Excellency, Senator Bala Mohammed, who alleged that “over Nitrilion federal government’s Social Investment Programme (SIP) has been siphoned by public and political office holders under President Muhammadu Buhari’s nose.
The Governor, who further stated that “corruption has already crashed the Federal Government’s SIP programme to its knees, challenged the FG to adopt the system of empowerment his administration is doing in Bauchi state.
The above statement was made at the launch of the Kaura Economic Empowerment Programme (KEEP), during which he was also quoted to have declared, amongst others, that “today, the social investment programme has collapsed and nobody is getting anything.
The Ministry wishes to categorically affirm that the above-unsubstantiated statements credited to the Bauchi State Governor are manifestly false, and have absolutely no bearing to the realities on the ground.
