Socio-Economic Rights and Accountability Project (SERAP) sues Nigeria's 36 governors and FCT Minister Nyesom Wike over failure to account for trillions of FAAC allocations since 1999. SERAP filed a lawsuit at the Federal High Court in Abuja seeking direction to publish spending details, invite EFCC and ICPC to investigate corruption, and provide access to info on how the funds are spent. SERAP argues that opacity in spending negatively affects citizens' fundamental interests.
