Socio-Economic Rights and Accountability Project has sued the Minister of Finance, Budget and National Planning, Zainab Ahmed, over her alleged failure to release the names of the contractors who hand

led the failed $460m Abuja Closed-Circuit Television project.

The group is, in the suit, seeking an order of mandamus to compel Ahmed to make the requested information and documents available to it. In a statement on Sunday by its Deputy Director, Kolawole Oludare, SERAP said it resorted to filing the suit after the finance minister allegedly shunned its October 25, 2019 Freedom of Information request.

The group said, “Transparency in the spending of Chinese loans is good for everyone, as this would help to increase the effectiveness, legitimacy, and contribution of the loans to the development of public goods and services, and the general public interests.”
