FG asks states to submit EndSARS panel reports

The Federal Government has asked states to submit reports of judicial panels set up after the 2020 End SARS protests.
Vice President Yemi Osinbajo made the call at the National Economic Council (NEC) meeting, which he chaired.
The meeting approved the 2022-2024 Medium Term Expenditure Framework and Fiscal Strategy Paper (MTEF/FSP).
In attendance were governors, ministers, Central Bank Governor, Godwin Emefiele, and other government officials.
NEC had recommended the establishment of judicial panels nationwide to address complaints of police brutality after the President dissolved the Police SARS unit.
Finance Minister, Zainab Ahmed, stated that the draft of the 2022-2024 MTEF/FSP was prepared against the backdrop of global economic recovery, amid improved vaccination outlook and lower incidence of COVID-19.
Ahmed said the Nigerian economy sustained a tepid recovery in first quarter of 2021 posting a Year-on-Year GDP growth of 0.51 per cent, consolidating the exit from recession in Q4 2020.
