SERAP to Akpabio, Abbas: Refund N110bn spent on luxury cars and unlawful allowances now

The Socio-Economic Rights and Accountability Project (SERAP) has issued a stern demand to Senate President Godswill Akpabio and Speaker of the House of Representatives Tajudeen Abbas. SERAP is calling for the immediate refund of N110 billion, which they allege was spent on luxury vehicles and unlawful allowances for members of the National Assembly.

SERAP has given the two presiding officers a seven-day ultimatum to ensure that the funds are returned to the public treasury. The organization argues that this expenditure is a misuse of public funds and that the lawmakers should be held accountable for these alleged excesses.

The demand highlights ongoing concerns about public spending and accountability in Nigeria. SERAP consistently advocates for transparency and the responsible use of national resources, particularly when basic services for citizens remain underfunded.
