A statement issued by Director Information, Office of the Secretary to the Government of the Federation, Willie Bassey said the leave is to allow conclusion of an investigation being carried out by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission.
Oyo-Ita is being probed over an alleged N3.6 billion allegedly traced to accounts linked to her. Reports claim the money was suspected to be kickbacks from contractors in Ministries, Departments and Agencies of government.
Although the agenda of her meeting with the president is unknown, it is believed that the new HoS is at the presidential villa to formally introduce herself to the president.
