NewzThe Socio-Economic Rights and Accountability Project (SERAP) has filed a lawsuit against the Nigerian government at the ECOWAS Court of Justice regarding the administration of ₦78.8 billion allocated for cash-transfer programs. The legal action challenges the government's management of these funds, which were intended to support vulnerable households across the country.
In its filing, SERAP contends that the government has failed to ensure the lawful administration of these public funds. The organization argues that this failure undermines the rights protected under the African Charter on Human and Peoples’ Rights, seeking a formal declaration from the court regarding the government's obligations in managing social welfare resources.
