SERAP Asks Akpabio, Abbas to Explain ₦1.3 Billion Allocation to 'Fictitious Presidential Council'

The Socio-Economic Rights and Accountability Project (SERAP) has formally requested Senate President Godswill Akpabio and House of Representatives Speaker Tajudeen Abbas to provide details on a significant fund allocation. SERAP is demanding the immediate disclosure of certified copies of all documents pertaining to the approval of over 1.3 billion naira.

This substantial sum, amounting to ₦1,302,978,784, was reportedly allocated to the Presidential Foreign Intervention Promotion Council (PFIPC), which SERAP describes as a "fictitious presidential council." The organization seeks clarity on the consideration and approval process for these funds.

SERAP's call for transparency aims to ensure accountability in public spending. By requesting the relevant documentation, the group intends to scrutinize the legitimacy and purpose of the allocated funds, emphasizing the need for public access to information regarding government expenditures.
