The investigation by the Nigeria — House of Representatives (Nigeria) into the unremitted N30 billion from the Nigeria — National Social Investment Programme Agency (NSIPA) creates uncertainty around the future of social investment programs in Nigeria. This delay in fund release could negatively impact small-scale enterprises and vulnerable populations, potentially slowing down economic stimulation and eroding public trust in the government's 'Renewed Hope Agenda'.

The Nigeria — House of Representatives (Nigeria) has launched an investigation into the whereabouts of over N30 billion recovered from the Nigeria — National Social Investment Programme Agency (NSIPA) between 2024 and 2025. President Bola Tinubu had suspended NSIPA operations on January 8, 2024, for six weeks to investigate alleged financial infractions. This investigation led to the tracing, freezing, and recovery of substantial public funds. However, despite the President lifting the suspension on January 21, 2025, the Nigeria — National Social Investment Programme Agency (NSIPA) has been unable to resume its programs because the recovered funds have not been remitted into its designated Treasury Single Account (TSA). Hon. Saidu Musa Abdullahi moved a motion expressing concern that the prolonged non-release of these funds undermines the 'Renewed Hope Agenda' by slowing down poverty alleviation efforts, weakening small-scale enterprises, and exacerbating hardship in Nigeria. The Nigeria — House of Representatives (Nigeria) has constituted an ad-hoc committee to determine the current status and custodianship of the funds, identify delays in their release, and obtain an implementation and disbursement plan from the Nigeria — National Social Investment Programme Agency (NSIPA).
