The Minister of Interior, Olubunmi Tunji-Ojo, has been urgently summoned to the Presidential Villa at Aso Rock by President Bola Tinubu.
Reportedly scheduled for the afternoon of tuesday, January 9, 2023, the meeting between the Minister of Interior and the President comes amidst mounting concerns within the Ministry of Humanitarian Affairs.
This involves a contentious consultancy contract worth N438 million awarded to New Planet Projects Ltd for the National Social Register—a company in which the Minister holds a beneficial stake.
The Minister of Humanitarian Affairs, Betta Edu was suspended from office earlier this week due to allegations of financial irregularities and mismanagement of public funds by President Bola Tinubu.
