The Socio-Economic Rights and Accountability Project has urged President Muhammadu Buhari to use the N4.8 billion earmarked for monitoring WhatsApp messages, phone calls and text messages of Nigerians to pay striking resident doctors.
In the open letter dated August 14, 2021, the organisation said spending the N4.8bn on doctors' welfare and others would be"entirely consistent with your constitutional oath of office, and the letter and spirit of the Nigerian Constitution of 1999 [as amended], as it would promote efficient, honest, and legal spending of public money.”
“SERAP believes that any proposed spending of public funds should stay within the limits of constitutional responsibilities, and oath of office by public officers, as well as comply with Chapter 2 of the Nigerian Constitution relating to fundamental objectives and directive principles of state policy.
“SERAP is concerned that the powers to conduct arbitrary, abusive or unlawful surveillance of communications may also be used to target political figures and activists, journalists and others in the discharge of their lawful activities, especially given the growing repression of civic space, suspension of Twitter, and attacks on freedom of expression and media freedom in the country.
This man is mad.. there is more to this crazy bills being used for trivialities in a fifth class country. This is enslavement in d making. D only thing about it is there is no face to be attached to all of thing atrocities going on in this country. NIGERIANS.. jiiii. E to sun.

Of course that's the right thing to do, only an irresponsible govt will leave its medical sector in the way it is in Nigeria and be monitoring oppositions whatsapp with billions. Oloriburuku leader awon oponu.
They won’t, instead they will embezzle the funds
The worst and most wicked government ever.bunch of destiny destroyers, nemesis will definitely catch up with all of you evil fulani government.
Chidex05039906 Or what would happen? 😑😑
Clowns
Which group exactly ?
Imagine budgeting N4.8billion to monitor WhatsApp while there are a lot of reasonable and valuable things to use money for! This country Nigeria is just a big damn...
Health care can't be their priority since they patronize UK doctors. You can tell that this govt no longer believes in the country he governs, so he'd rather ruin it in every way.
YeleSowore SERAPNigeria, and when the N4 billion runs out? Meanwhile, YeleSowore while you were asleep, these happened. Perhaps you can blame MBuhari too🤪
Nigerians and 7 days are like 5&6. U people cannot take action without giving 7 days. Nigera is a joke.
MBuhari You have failed us totally
Imagine say your mother never pay house rent, you go buy 5 big generators for church.
the government of the President, Major General Muhammadu Buhari (retd), has never prosecuting any Fulaani terrorists,ISWAP and bandits rather they where recruiting into security Agencies to kill innocent people in Nigeria and South/East Biafra's Land
