SERAP Demands Accountability from Governors on N14 Trillion Subsidy Savings

The Socio-Economic Rights and Accountability Project (SERAP) called on Nigeria's 36 state governors and the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Nyesom Wike, to provide detailed explanations of the estimated N14 trillion fuel subsidy savings. SERAP urged transparency in disclosing the spending details, including the allocation of funds and the status of projects executed with the savings.

The organization emphasized the importance of accountability and monitoring to prevent the diversion of public funds for private use. The request for information aims to ensure that the fuel subsidy savings are utilized for improving public services like healthcare and education for the benefit of vulnerable Nigerians, highlighting the need for transparency and oversight in government spending.
