According to a statement by presidential spokesman, Ajuri Ngelale, on Thursday evening, the decision was in the light of new findings unearthed during a comprehensive investigation into the financial activities of REA.

Also suspended were Olaniyi Alaba Netufo — Executive Director, Corporate Services; Barka Sajou — Executive Director, Technical Services, and Sa’adatu Balgore — Executive Director, Rural Electrification Fund (REF).

Furthermore, Ngelale said President Tinubu has ordered a wider investigation into the conduct of the aforementioned officials in a fraudulent misexpenditure amounting to over N1.2billion over the past two years, some of which has already been recovered by anti-graft agencies.

By the directive of the President, he said the five qualified Nigerians have been appointed to serve in the new management team of the Agency in acting capacity with immediate effect.
