N585m scandal: Suspended minister Betta Edu denied access to see Tinubu

Indications emerged on Monday that the suspended Minister of Humanitarian Affairs and Poverty Alleviation, Dr. Betta Edu was not allowed to see President Bola Tinubu at the Presidential Villa in Abuja.

This is as a Civil Society Organisation, Community Advancement and Humanitarian Empowerment Initiative in Nigeria (CSCHEI) has commended President Tinubu for his swift action in suspending the Minister and ordered the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission EFCC, to thoroughly investigate the matter.

President Tinubu had ordered the suspension of the minister following controversies about financial transactions she authorised in her ministry.
