The Socio-Economic Rights and Accountability Project (SERAP) has issued a stern warning to the 36 state governors and the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Nyesom Wike, to immediately account for and return the local government funds they have collected over the years.
SERAP’s call to action comes amidst allegations of mismanagement and embezzlement of local government funds by state governments. The organization is demanding transparency and accountability in the management of these funds, which are meant to support grassroots development and improve the lives of citizens at the local level.
The group’s directive is seen as a significant step towards ensuring that state governments are held accountable for their handling of local government funds and that the resources are used for the intended purposes.
