The management of the National Entrepreneurship and Innovation Programme (NEIP) has instructed all staff to refrain from reporting to work starting Monday, February 24, 2025, due to unresolved legal and administrative issues concerning employment and salary payments.
In a statement issued on Friday, February 21, NEIP explained that despite extensive efforts to resolve these concerns, the legal complexities prevent the use of operational funds for staff allowances.
Management emphasised that all employment matters must go through the appropriate legal processes to avoid further complications.
Until these issues are fully addressed, only specific staff whose services are required may be called upon to resume work.
Additionally, all staff in possession of NEIP property must return them to the HR Officer by the close of business on Tuesday, February 25, 2025.
The statement warned that failure to comply would be considered a deliberate act of theft.
Management has assured staff that updates will be provided as efforts to resolve the situation continue.
