The National Entrepreneurship & Innovation Programme (NEIP) has announced the temporary suspension of all staff due to unresolved employment and legal issues.

In an official memo dated February 21, 2025, the CEO of NEIP directed the HR Officer to inform staff that, following extensive follow-ups, management has determined that the complexity and legal implications of certain employment matters prevent the use of operational funds for monthly staff allowances.

The memo further stated that management has been instructed to adhere strictly to due process in regularizing staff employment to prevent further legal complications.

As a result of these challenges, all employees have been directed not to report to work starting Monday, February 24, 2025, until these issues are fully resolved.
