THE MISSING BILLIONS: A TALE OF CORRUPTION AND IMPUNITY
Imagine a country where billions of naira in public funds vanish into thin air, leaving the poor and vulnerable to suffer the consequences. Welcome to Nigeria, where corruption has become a way of life. The latest scandal involves the Federal Ministry of Humanitarian Affairs and Poverty Alleviation, where a whopping N57 billion in public funds went missing in 2021 alone.
SERAP DEMANDS JUSTICE AND ACCOUNTABILITY
The Socio-Economic Rights and Accountability Project (SERAP) has had enough of the corruption and impunity. The organization has filed a lawsuit against President Bola Tinubu, demanding that he directs the Attorney General of the Federation and Minister of Justice to investigate the allegations and prosecute those responsible.
THE PEOPLE DEMAND ANSWERS
The Nigerian people are tired of being robbed blind by corrupt officials. They demand answers and justice for the missing billions. As SERAP argues, “The allegations amount to stealing from the poor. There is a legitimate public interest in ensuring justice and accountability for these grave allegations.”
