SERAP  and Tinubu

The Socio-Economic Rights and Accountability Project (SERAP) has urged President Bola Tinubu to direct the Minister of Communications, Innovation and Digital Economy, Bosun Tijani, to account for an alleged missing ₦2.9 billion of public funds from the Nigerian Communications Satellite Ltd (NIGCOMSAT) and the Nigerian Nuclear Regulatory Authority (NNRA).

In a Statement posted on its official X handle on Sunday, SERAP demanded that the Attorney General of the Federation and Minister of Justice, Lateef Fagbemi SAN, investigate the missing funds or any other diverted funds from the agencies documented in the previous annual reports by the Auditor-General.

According to the statement, the allegations are documented in the latest annual report published by the Auditor-General on 9th of September 2025.

SERAP argued that these allegations, involving critical public institutions, represent a grave violation of the public trust and a fundamental breach of Nigeria’s anti-corruption laws and international obligations.
