Socio-Economic Rights and Accountability Project (SERAP) has implored the 36 state governors in the country to “disclose details on spending of the N2 billion palliative recently disbursed to each state by the Federal Government, including the names of beneficiaries and details of the reliefs so far provided with the money.”
The Federal Government recently disbursed N2 billion to each state of the federation and the federal capital territory (FCT) out of the N5 billion palliative package to alleviate the effects of the removal of fuel subsidies.
In the open letter dated 9 September 2023 and signed by SERAP deputy director Kolawole Oluwadare, the organisation said: “It is in the public interest to publish the details on spending of the N2 billion palliative and any subsequent disbursement of funds to your government.”
