SERAP Demands N’Assembly Probe N6.3bn Constituency Fund

The Socio-Economic Rights and Accountability Project (SERAP) has issued a seven-day ultimatum to the National Assembly of Nigeria to investigate the alleged diversion of N6.3 billion in constituency funds. This demand is based on findings from the Auditor General of the Federation's 2022 annual report, published on September 9, 2025.

SERAP has urged the leadership of the National Assembly, including Senate President Godswill Akpabio and House of Representatives Speaker Tajudeen Abba, to refer the allegations to relevant anti-corruption agencies for possible prosecution. The organization claims sufficient evidence exists to prosecute individuals found culpable of misappropriating public funds.

The letter, dated June 27, 2026, was signed by SERAP's Deputy Director Kolawole Oluwadare. SERAP's report highlights widespread financial irregularities involving several federal ministries and agencies handling constituency projects, including the Environment Ministry and the Federal College of Animal Health and Production Technology.

The report details specific instances of payments made without proper documentation and contracts awarded without competitive bidding.
