President Bola Tinubu has ordered investigation into alleged payment of funds into a private account by the Ministry of Humanitarian Affairs and Poverty Alleviation headed by Ms Betta Edu.

The Minister of Information and National Orientation, Mr Mohammed Idris who disclosed this in a statement issued on Sunday, stressed that the Tinubu’s administration is committed to transparency as the federal government was determined to unravel the truth as it related to the matter.

Idris assured that appropriate action would be taken to ensure that any breaches and infractions were identified and decisively punished, in line with the administration’s commitment to public accountability and due process.

The Minister, however cautioned against dissemination of unverified claims by the people, committing to provide timely updates to keep Nigerians informed about the progress of the investigation.
