The Socio-Economic Rights and Accountability Project (SERAP) has called on the President of the Senate, Godswill Akpabio, and the Speaker of the House of Representatives, Tajudeen Abbas, to account for ₦18.6 billion allegedly missing from the National Assembly Commission office complex project.
In a statement issued on Sunday and signed by SERAP’s Deputy Director, Kolawole Oluwadare, the organization cited findings from the 2022 Annual Report of the Auditor-General of the Federation, which flagged irregularities in the project’s execution.
SERAP urged the two presiding officers to disclose the identity of the “fictitious construction company” that reportedly received the funds, including the names of its directors, shareholders, and registered address.
According to the group, the Auditor-General’s report revealed that the contract was awarded without following due process, raising serious concerns over transparency and accountability in the management of public funds.
SERAP further urged the leadership of the National Assembly to ensure a prompt and transparent investigation into the alleged diversion and to make the findings public.
