The Federal Government is expected to inaugurate a toll-free
Whistleblower Hotline to check corruption in the School Feeding
Programme.
The National Social Investment Office and the Independent
Corrupt Practices and other related offences Commission are jointly
organising the event.
The Minister of Humanitarian Affairs, Disaster Management and
Social Development, Sadiya Farouk, will launch the hotline at the
State House Auditorium, Abuja.
A statement by the Communications Manager of the NSIP, Tienabeso
Bibiye, on Monday said the event was part of the Federal
Government’s commitment to ensuring the execution of the social
protection programme in an open, accountable and transparent
manner.
Bibiye said the collaborative effort between the NSIO and ICPC
was to further tighten loose ends, effectively check acts that tend
to undermine the efforts of the FG to alleviate poverty in the
country.
The statement said the NSIO, which coordinates the National Home
Grown School Feeding Programme, the Government Enterprise and
Empowerment Programme, N-POWER and the National Cash Transfer
Programme, had worked in accordance with the vision of the
Muhammadu Buhari administration by instituting processes and
procedures that aim at insulating the NSIP from corrupt
practices.
