The management of the National Entrepreneurship and Innovation Programme (NEIP) has directed all staff not to report to work starting Monday, February 24, 2025.
This action, according to management, is due to unresolved legal and administrative issues related to employment and salary payments.
NEIP in a memo issued by its new Chief Executive Officer Eric Adjei on Friday, February 21 said the decision followed extensive efforts to resolve concerns regarding staff employment.
It is not clear if the new CEO will continue to be in office as there are not workers to work with.
The memo said the NEIP management has determined that the complexity and legal implications of these issues prevent the use of operational funds to pay monthly staff allowances.
As a result, it stated that all employment matters must go through the proper legal processes to avoid further complications.
The memo noted that 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 are to return them to the HR Officer by close of work on Tuesday, February 25, 2025.
“Failure to do so will be considered as deliberate stealing of such items,” the memo warned.
NEIP Management has assured staff that updates will be provided as efforts continue to resolve the situation.
