The Socio-Economic Rights and Accountability Project (SERAP) has called on President Bola Tinubu to initiate a probe into the alleged disappearance of ₦2.9 billion from key government agencies, including Nigerian Communications Satellite Ltd (NIGCOMSAT) and the Nigerian Nuclear Regulatory Authority (NNRA).
In its statement, SERAP urged the Minister of
Communications, Bosun Tijani, to provide a full account of the funds, while also calling on the Attorney General, Lateef Fagbemi, to ensure a thorough investigation. The group emphasized that the allegations—reportedly highlighted in the Auditor-General’s 2025 report—raise serious concerns about transparency and accountability in public institutions.
SERAP further stressed that any individuals found culpable should face prosecution, and all missing funds must be recovered and returned to the national treasury, noting that financial mismanagement in such critical agencies could undermine Nigeria’s digital advancement and national safety.
