EXCLUSIVE: Permanent Secretary blocks release of funds approved by Tinubu for agencies
Funds approved by President Bola Tinubu to support the operations of agencies under the Federal Ministry of Information and National Orientation have been frozen for more than a week without any official explanation, PREMIUM TIMES has learnt.
