NEIP staff placed on temporary suspension over employment irregularities -

The Management of the National Entrepreneurship and Innovation Programme (NEIP) has directed its staff not to report to work from Monday, February 24, 2025.

This follows unresolved issues related to employment and salary payments.

In a statement dated Friday, February 21, the programme’s management noted that “Management has been instructed to adhere strictly to due process in regularising staff employment to prevent further legal complications.”

They added, that once the issues are fully addressed, only specific staff whose services are required may be called upon to resume work.

“Additionally, all staff who have property belonging to NEIP are required to hand them over to the HR Officer by close of work on Tuesday, February 25, 2025.”

“Failure to do so will be considered deliberate stealing of such items,” the statement read.
