Socio-Economic Rights and Accountability Project, (SERAP) has called for an immediate court action by the Federal Government against those states that allegedly diverted or mismanaged the London Paris Club refunds.
The group, has therefore, urged the Accountant General of the Federation, Alhaji Ahmed Idris to pass information to the Attorney General of the Federation, AGF, Abubakar Malami, regarding the release of N388.304 billion London Paris Club loan refunds to 35 states by the federal government to enable the AGF initiate legal action against states that allegedly diverted and mismanaged the funds.
In the letter signed by SERAP Executive Director, Adetokunbo Mumuni, the organization argued that: ‘’This will compel the states to widely publish, including on a dedicated website, details of spending of the funds by them. We request that you take this step within seven days of the receipt and/or publication of this letter, failing which SERAP will institute legal proceedings to compel the discharge of duty in this matter.
“Pursuing such action will also send a strong message that President Muhammadu Buhari would not tolerate corruption in the disbursement of funds by his government.”
