The Management of the National Entrepreneurship and Innovation Programme (NEIP) has directed all staff members not to report to work effective Monday, February 24, 2025, until further notice.
The Chief Executive Officer in a memo dated 21st February 2025, said Management has been instructed to adhere strictly to due process in regularizing staff employment matters to prevent further legal complications.
He noted that, “Following extensive follow-ups to resolve the issues related to the employment of existing staff, it has been determined that the complexity and legal implications of these issues prevent us from using operational funds to pay monthly staff allowances.”
As a result, effective after the close of work today (Friday), all staff are instructed not to report to work starting Monday, 24th February 2025, until these issues are fully resolved.
The statement indicated that once the matters are adequately addressed, management may call upon specific staff whose services will be required to resume work.
Meanwhile, all staff in possession of properties belonging to the organization are required to hand them over to the Human Resource officer latest by Tuesday (25th February 2025), failure of which will be considered as deliberate stealing of such items.
