VP Yemi Osinbajo<\/figcaption><\/figure>\nThe Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has said that it is not investigating Vice President Yemi Osinbajo and the National Social Investment Programme (N-SIP).<\/p>\n
Spokesperson of the commission, Wilson Uwujaren, never made any reference to N-SIP as a programme or accused those who superintend it of corruption, EFCC said.<\/p>\n
A statement by the Head of Media and Publicity of EFCC, Wilson Uwujaren, said Chairman of the EFCC, Mr. Ibrahim Magu appreciates how N-SIP has lifted many Nigerians out of poverty and cautioned against reports that could incite the Vice President against Magu.<\/p>\n
The statement said: \u201cThe attention of the EFCC has been drawn to a report captioned, \u201cThere is corruption in N-SIP programme- Magu\u201d, which appeared in a newspaper on Wednesday September 25, 2019 and a few other newspapers, in which the acting Chairman of the Commission, Ibrahim Magu was quoted as saying that there is corruption in the National Social Investment Programme and the Anchor Borrower\u2019s Programme.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe papers claim that Magu, who spoke through the Spokesperson of the agency, Wilson Uwujaren at the 15th Anti- Corruption Situation Room organised by the Human and Environmental Development Agenda in Kaduna on Tuesday September 24, 2019, asked the civil society organizations \u201cto investigate the N-SIP.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe commission wishes to disclaim the reports as false and a mischievous twist of the goodwill message presented by Mr. Uwujaren, on corruption and peace building in conflict communities.<\/p>\n
\u201cIn the presentation, the EFCC spokesperson observed that the agency had received complaints in some zones regarding the social investment programmes, citing an example in Gombe where the Commission investigated a case in the Anchor Borrower\u2019s Scheme in which sand was bagged and passed off as fertilizer.<\/p>\n
\u201d He, therefore, warned that for the crises in these conflict zones not to degenerate, civil society organisations should play more active roles in monitoring the programmes to ensure that their benefits get to the people for which they are intended.<\/p>\n
\u201cAt no time in the presentation did Mr Uwujaren mention the N-SIP as a programme nor did he accuse those who superintend it of corruption. The specific case mentioned, the Anchor Borrower\u2019s scheme, is not part of the N-SIP being supervised by the office of the Vice President.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis clarification becomes necessary to correct the wrong impression of a verdict of corruption on N-SIP by the EFCC which the purveyors of the false reports obviously want to create.<\/p>\n
The statement cautioned against reports which could project a false indictment and incite the Vice President against the person of the Chairman of the EFCC, Mr. Ibrahim Magu.<\/p>\n
The statement added: \u201cAll over the world, one of the core competence of civil society organizations is project monitoring. Calling on Nigerian civil societies to monitor social intervention programmes, was not a call to investigation as no one had been indicted. Investigation itself is not the job of civil society organisations.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe EFCC chairman recognizes the unprecedented impact of of the N-SIP intervention is not only lifting the poor out of poverty but also it\u2019s potential for reconciling feuding communities across the country.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe sensational attempt to project a false indictment, and incite the Vice President against the person of the Chairman of the EFCC, is therefore condemnable.\u201d<\/p>\n
