SURE-P Scrapped by The Federal Government

President Muhammadu Buhari has scrapped the Subsidy Reinvestment and Empowerment Programme (SURE-P) and ordered the Presidential Committee and workers of the agency to wind down operations.


The AUTHORITY learnt that President Buhari's directive was conveyed to the SURE-P Committee headed by Mr. Ishaya Dary Akau as Chairman, through a letter from the Office of the Secretary to the Government of the Federation, Mr. Babachir David Lawal.

On Monday, The AUTHORITY had exclusively reported that the SURE-P office had been deserted by contractors, workers and members of the Presidential Committee because of non-funding by the current administration.

There were also indications that the President has ordered a probe into their activities, funding and expenditure of the agency.

SURE-P was established by former President Goodluck Jonathan to manage revenue accruing from the partial removal of fuel subsidy in 2012.


And of course this will affect all GIS Interns, unfortunately.
