Miss Betta should be shown the door and invited by EFCC if found guilty, like Halima and Sadiya, her female counterparts in the lootmanitarian ministry.

I think it has come to the end of the road for Miss. Edu. Quite unfortunate though.

Till we hear from the presidency

Kemi Adesina was sacked when she was found culpable of NYSC racketeering....

Betta Edu must resign.......And If she must continue with her job, then let her go give dvggy style to Abdulsalam Abubakar or Babangida to help her with Plea bargain.

Obidient reportage with no link. Once they are caught now for writing fake article, they will be shouting "na devil"

She should step aside while the investigation is ongoing

Beauty will pacify her

....And where are the leaders of tomorrow?
If we were all requesting that the youths take over and we are seen the likes of Sadia, Edu and co whom we see as a youth behaving this way, then are youth really ready? Though when we see the likes of Bunmi tunji-ojo performing well, we may then conclude that corruption is a thing of mind.

She fell into the trap.
Now her name is stained forever . . .

I wish the way female politicians are scrutinized can be done to their male counterparts too .

99 percent of Nigerian politicians are male and criminals, but the few females we've had are always the ones being probed, whilst we've had lots of male politicians that have looted more and are walking about freely.

Looting is common at the FG level... Na who d catch be looter.

She reported Sadiya and Sadiya doesn't want to go down alone that's why she is fighting her with all her arsenals

Edu is going nowhere or leaving dat seat 4 anyone!

All dis ppl against ashuwaju's divine ordained govt shld wail & wait till 2031!

ObiCertificate:

Allegations are not enough to fire government officials. In a sane clime, she would honourably resign, but Nigeria is an asylum.

Therefore, the best bet is for her to be suspended to allow for a thorough investigation. If she's found wanting, she should be fired and replaced. But if she's innocent, she would be reinstated and all her entitlements paid.

Tinubu is not responsible for the rascality of those who serve in this government because it runs in the blood of Nigérians living in this mad house, but he can take corrective actions to define his stance on these kinds of issues.

Nigeria needs cleansing... Corruption has finished every sector of the country

Tinubu should have just rewarded her with money instead of appointment (she was with him thought out the rigorous campaign).

It's nice Nairaland update eerily today.

Has she been sacked or suspended with a possible prosecution

Otherwise all these explanations are not needed

This woman will do worse than what they accused emefiele of doing if she’s allowed to stay for a year

Barely less than a year in office and now this! May God save Nigeria from the hands of Looters

Have guys noticed women are always the scapegoat in corruption

I no still trust this people.

In a sane country, this woman would have since resigned. But the " no gree for anybody" syndrome of Nigerian politicians have taken a strong grip on her.

GOFRONT:
Kemi Adesina was sacked when she was found culpable of NYSC racketeering....

Betta Edu must resign.......And If she must continue with her job, then let her go give dvggy style to Abdulsalam Abubakar or Babangida to help her with Plea bargain.

Kemi was sacked?

May God help us in this Nation
That is only if we are equally ready to work towards the help

Trash

Imagine the courage to move that type of money.

I use to advocate for appointing women to handle cash because they usually don't have the mind to sack the account like a typical Nigerian man would do (stereotypically speaking). We don't want another Sadiya Umar-Farouk that looted billions.
