SERAP Sues 36 Governors and FCT Minister Over ₦14 Trillion Fuel Subsidy Savings
The Socio-Economic Rights and Accountability Project (SERAP) has filed a lawsuit against Nigeria’s 36 governors and FCT Minister Nyesom Wike for failing to account for ₦14 trillion in fuel subsidy savings received from FAAC allocations since May 2023. The suit, filed at the Federal High Court, Lagos (FHC/L/MSC/1424/2025), seeks disclosure of spending details, project execution reports, and locations of funded projects. SERAP argues that despite increased allocations, millions of poor Nigerians have not benefited from the funds, raising concerns of mismanagement. The action follows a Supreme Court ruling affirming that the Freedom of Information Act applies to state-level public records. No hearing date has been set.
