SERAP Slams President Buhari With Lawsuit Over Non-Disclosure Of N6trn NDDC Fund Looters

The Socio-Economic Rights and Accountability Project (SERAP) has filed a lawsuit against President Muhammadu Buhari over alleged financial misappropriation within the Niger Delta Development Commission (NDDC).

This was contained in a lawsuit filed by SERAP lawyers Kolawole Oluwadare and Opeyemi Owolabi, at the Federal High Court, Abuja.

According to the Organisation, this suit is due to the failure of President BUHARI “to publish the names of those indicted in the alleged misappropriation of over N6 trillion in the running of the Niger Delta Development Commission (NDDC) between 2000 and 2019, as documented in the recent Forensic Audit Report on NDDC.

SERAP also sought “an order of mandamus to direct and compel President BUHARI to publish the names of those indicted in the alleged misappropriation of over N6trn in the running of the Niger Delta Development Commission (NDDC) between 2000 and 2019.

The suit, which has been assigned to Justice Binta Nyako at Court 2, is fixed for hearing on 29th November 2021.

IMF  Tells Nigerian Government To Remove Fuel, Electricity Subsidies Early 2022

The International Monetary  Fund has advised the federal government to completely remove fuel and electricity subsidies in early 2022.

The Washington-based Organisation noted that the removal of “retrogressive” fuel and electricity subsidies should be considered a priority as part of the government’s fiscal policy.

In its preliminary findings at the end of its official staff visit to the country under the Article IV Mission, IMF also called for reforms in the fiscal, exchange rate, trade and governance aspects of Nigeria.

The IMF noted that Nigeria’s past experiences with fuel subsidy removal, which have all been short-lived and reversed, underscore the importance of building a consensus and improving public trust regarding the protection of the poor and efficient and transparent use of the saved resources.

Senior Advocate of Nigeria, Femi Falana, reacting to the development, said the IMF has no right to tell Nigeria how to run its affairs.
