A massive financial earthquake shook the Nigeria Social Insurance Trust Fund (NSITF) tonight as a new investigation uncovered a staggering £297 billion scandal involving its current leadership.
Documents obtained exclusively reveal that NSITF’s chief executive allegedly granted “no approval limits” to the fund’s huge accounts. In shocking breach of Treasury Single Account (TSA) policy, investigators uncovered more than 100 secret bank accounts All linked to one Single Bank Verification Number (BVN).
“Unlimited Approval” plot
While large deals at federal agencies are required by law to seek board or secretary approval, this new “internal memo” shows that billions of dollars of deals have not received the board’s signature. According to reports, the funds, which were intended for insurance and welfare benefits for Nigerian workers, were being diverted into private investments through these secret accounts.
Whistleblower leaks
The scandal came to light after an internal audit was allegedly “suppressed”, leading to frustrated employees leaking BVN data. Investigations revealed that billions of naira transactions had been “bubbled” in the secret accounts since January 2026, even as the agency claimed it had no money to pay certain claims from injured workers.
