Nigeria’s Minister of Interior, Olubunmi Tunji-Ojo has been summoned by President Bola Tinubu.

He was invited to a meeting with Tinubu at the Presidential Villa amid the controversy surrounding the Ministry of Humanitarian Affairs and the allocation of a consultancy contract worth N438 million to New New Planet Projects Ltd.
