In a recent development, Minister of Interior Olubunmi Tunji-Ojo vehemently denies being a signatory to New Planet Projects Ltd amid allegations of a N438 million contract linked to his former company and the Ministry of Humanitarian Affairs.

Key Points:

• Tunji-Ojo asserts he is not a signatory to the account of New Planet Projects Ltd, the recipient of a substantial N438 million from Dr. Betta Edu for the Grant for Vulnerable Groups scheme.
• Notably, the Minister points out that while he is not directly involved, his wife serves as a Director of New Planet Projects Ltd, adding a familial connection to the controversy.
• Complicating matters further, it is revealed that Thalis Apalowo, the National Programme Manager for the Grant for Vulnerable Groups scheme, was previously Tunji-Ojo’s legislative aide at the National Assembly, raising questions about potential conflicts of interest.
