Like SERAPNigeria, we ask, how much has been recovered and when? The Ministry of Finance should respond to this formal request immediately. Only when our leaders show they are responsible and transparent in handling finance would other countries accord...
The Socio-Economic Rights and Accountability Project has moved once again to defend the common interest. The very active non-governmental organisation has said it would take the Federal Government to court if it fails to respond to the request for details of the Abacha loot repatriated since 1999.
We commend SERAP’s action in holding government to account. Public funds must be deployed responsibly and transparently at all times. We note that President Muhammadu Buhari rode into power in 2015 on the plank of change, promising to deploy his acclaimed personal integrity in ensuring that nothing would be done under the table or in the dark. This is another opportunity for the President and his team to demonstrate that Nigerians matter.
This government should realise that, unless the culture of transparency is instituted in managing national affairs, there will be no development. There must therefore be a culture and structure intolerant of privatisation of the common wealth. Abacha is believed to have fleeced Nigeria of about US$ 5 billion. This is not an enviable company to keep. As a signatory to the United Nations Convention on Corruption, Nigeria should be seen to be taking action to curb graft in public and private life. Today, many companies in the West are reluctant to open letters of credit for our businesses, neither are many of their banks readily willing to lend money for transactions with Nigerians.
