As the Federal Government keeps on with the famed N-Power scheme, the Socio-Economic Rights and Accountability Project (SERAP) has filed a lawsuit against President Muhammadu Buhari over “the failure to thoroughly, effectively and transparently investigate spending on all social safety-nets and poverty alleviation programmes and projects executed between 2015 and 2022.”
Newsbreak.ng reports that joined in the suit as respondent is the Attorney-General of the Federation (AGF) and Minister of Justice, Abubakar Malami (SAN).
According to SERAP, a recent report by the National Bureau of Statistics had shown that some 133 million Nigerians were poor, despite the government reportedly spending N500 billion yearly on ‘social investment programmes,’ saying half of the poor people in the country are children.
