 “As an organisation deeply committed to the progress and well-being of our nation, we are ready to provide our support in the battle against corruption.

“We strongly believe that eradicating corruption is essential for creating an environment that promotes sustainable development, equal opportunities, and social justice for all Nigerians.

“Therefore, we urge President Bola Ahmed Tinubu,, to reaffirm his dedication, along with his government, to the growth and advancement of Nigeria.

“Given recent revelations regarding alleged corruption within the Ministry of Humanitarian Affairs and Poverty Alleviation, we urge the President to initiate a thorough investigation into these allegations. It is crucial to meticulously examine every aspect of the ministry’s financial transactions to ensure transparency and accountability.

“Additionally, we call for a comprehensive investigation into the financial transactions associated with the Federal Ministry of Humanitarian Affairs and Poverty Alleviation, as well as a forensic audit of the ministry and the companies involved in the excessively inflated consultancy’s verification fees,” the statement read.

The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) questioned Edu on Tuesday.

In conjunction with the suspected N44 billion scam discovered in the ministry, the anti-graft agency is also expanding its probe to include the CEOs and Managing Directors of Zenith Bank, Providus Bank, and Jaiz Bank.
