Kwara State Government has suspended two senior officials of the Saving One Million Lives Programme for Result (SOML-PforR) for alleged financial irregularities and inconsistencies in the handling of funds.
They are the SOML-PforR state Programme Manager, Dr. Ibrahim Omar and the programme accountant, Alabi Rahman Olalekan.
Kwara government made the disclosure in a statement by Press Secretary of Ministry of Health, Falade Gbenga Tayo, on Wednesday.
It was gathered that their suspension is connected to alleged mismanagement of some N170m SOML-PforR’s fund.
The statement reads in part, “preliminary probe into the allegations, revealed some inconsistencies and that efforts to get the officials to offer satisfactory explanations and verifications were being deliberately frustrated.”
“The officials were suspended from the programme to enhance uninterrupted investigation.
“The steps to sanitize the programme, were in line with the transparency and accountability drive of Governor Abdulrahman Abdulrazaq”.
