Socio-Economic Rights and Accountability Project (SERAP) has dragged the 36 state governors in Nigeria to court over failure to account for the spending of the N72 billion palliative received from the Federal Government.
Deputy Director of SERAP, Kolawole Oluwadare made this known in a statement on Sunday.
SERAP, in suit number FHC/L/CS/1943/2023 filed last Friday at the Federal High Court in Lagos, sought to compel the 36 state governors to account for the spending.
“An order of mandamus to direct and compel each of the 36 state governors to disclose details of the beneficiaries and the reliefs provided to the poorest and most vulnerable Nigerians with the money,” it said.
