SERAP sues FG over Chinese $460m Abuja CCTV Project

The Socio-Economic Rights and Accountability Project (SERAP) has filed a lawsuit against the Minister of Finance, Budget and National Planning, Mrs Zainab Ahmed, over a $460 million loan obtained in 2010 from China.

SERAP sued the FG for an alleged failure to “disclose information and specific documents on the total amount of money paid to contractors from the loan.

The sum was said to have been obtained to fund the Abuja Closed-Circuit Television (CCTV) project, which SERAP described as failure.

It is also suing the government for its alleged failure to name the contractors involved and is asking them to explain why they have continued to repay the loan, among other things.
