She described allegations that she diverted the fund as a blackmail.
The payment was to be made into a United Bank of Africa (UBA) account belonging to Oniyelu Bridget Mojisola.
Confirming the payment, the minister said in the statement issued on her behalf,
“The general public is invited to note that the Renewed Hope Grant for Vulnerable Groups is one of the social intervention schemes of the Federal Government, which the Ministry of Humanitarian Affairs and Poverty Alleviation is implementing.
DR BETA EDU.
“Oniyelu Bridget is the Project Accountant for GVG from the Department of Finance, and it is legal in civil service for a staff, the project accountant, to be paid and use the same funds legally and retire the same with all receipts and evidence after the project or programme is completed.”

Edu’s letter authorizing the Accountant-General to make the payment has sparked reactions from Nigerians, who were concerned that public funds were being sent to a private individual. In the letter she said,
“I hereby approve the payment of the cumulative sum of N585,189,500. These are payments for programs and activities of the Renewed Hope grant for Vulnerable Groups,” Edu noted in the letter.
