Following the series of allegations by the Independent Corrupt Practices Commission (ICPC), One of which been that N2.67 billion proposed for school feeding in Nigeria has been misappropriated, the ministry of humanitarian affairs, disaster management and social development has reacted saying it has no link to the alleged.
The Ministry of Humanitarian Affairs responded with a statement denying any involvement of Minister Sadiya or her staff.
In a stream of tweets, the ministry distanced the minister from allegations of embezzlement and Mismanagement of Funds.
The ministry said: “preliminary investigation had indicated that part of the N2.67billion was diverted to private accounts. It also revealed that over N2.5 billion was misappropriated by a senior civil servant (name withheld) in the ministry of agriculture and now deceased, for himself and cronies”.
It added: “The statement by ICPC was twisted and misinterpreted by mischief makers and directed at the Ministry of Humanitarian Affairs.”
“The Ministry of Humanitarian Affairs, Disaster Management and Social Development hereby inform the public that the Federal Government Colleges school feeding in question is different from the Home Grown School Feeding which is one of its Social Investment Programmes.”
