The Socio-Economic Rights and Accountability Project (SERAP) has called on the 36 state governors and the minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Abuja, Mr. Nyesom Wike, to disclose details of federal allocations meant for local governments since the return of democracy in 1999.
SERAP has requested that the governors promptly invite the Independent Corrupt Practices and Other Related Offences Commission (ICPC) and the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) to investigate the disbursement and spending of federal allocations meant for local governments.
The advocacy group emphasized the importance of transparency to prevent corruption and increase public trust. SERAP has given a 7-day ultimatum for compliance, stating that legal actions will be considered if there is no response within the stipulated timeframe.
