The<br \/>\naccountability of government to the general public is a hallmark of<br \/>\nmodern democratic governance, a norm of human rights and a tool to curb<br \/>\ncorruption.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The FoI requests read, in part: &#8220;If we have not heard from you within 7<br \/>\ndays as stated, SERAP shall take all appropriate legal actions under the<br \/>\nFoI Act to compel you to comply with our request. Access to the details<br \/>\nsought would allow Nigerians an opportunity to assess the impacts of any<br \/>\nprojects carried out with the funds.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;SERAP is concerned that the allegations of corruption and mismanagement<br \/>\ninvolving the use of Abacha loot may be responsible for the increasing<br \/>\nlevel of grand corruption over the years and the entrenched impunity of<br \/>\nperpetrators.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Publishing details of spending of Abacha loot by successive<br \/>\nadministrations would also ensure that persons with public<br \/>\nresponsibilities are answerable to the people for the performance of<br \/>\ntheir duties including the management of Nigeria&#8217;s commonwealth.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Transparency and accountability enable citizens to have a say about<br \/>\nissues such as the spending of returned Abacha loot, that matter to them<br \/>\nand a chance to monitor and influence how the funds are spent as well as<br \/>\nhold those managing the funds to account in cases of diversion or<br \/>\nmismanagement.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The government ought to come up with an Abacha loot scoreboard to<br \/>\ndetermine the exact amount stolen and the extent of transparency and<br \/>\naccountability of the returned loot since 1999.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;If there is any indication that any of the recovered Abacha funds have<br \/>\nbeen diverted, re-stolen or mismanaged, for such cases to be immediately<br \/>\nreferred to appropriate anti-corruption agencies for effective<br \/>\ninvestigation, and prosecution if there is relevant admissible<br \/>\nevidence.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;A scoreboard for the actual amount stolen and the spending of returned<br \/>\nloot by each administration since 1999 would encourage more transparency<br \/>\nand accountability and ensure that the funds reach the real victims of<br \/>\ncorruption as well as reduce concerns by Nigerians, the holding states<br \/>\nand other partners about the returned loot being diverted, re-stolen or<br \/>\nmismanaged.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;According to our information, a special panel set up on 23 July 1998 by<br \/>\nthe former head of state General Abdulsalami Abubakar to probe the late<br \/>\nmilitary dictator General Sani Abacha stated that he stole over $5<br \/>\nbillion between 1993 and 1998 when he was in power. Much of the stolen<br \/>\npublic funds have been returned to Nigeria.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The report by the panel shows that the government recovered some $635<br \/>\nmillion, \u00a375 million, DM 30 million and N9 billion as well as several<br \/>\nvehicles and properties in Abuja, Lagos and Kano together with 40%<br \/>\ninterests in West African Refinery in Sierra Leone. Other assets were<br \/>\nrecovered from the Abacha family and associates.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Furthermore, former president Olusegun Obasanjo administration also<br \/>\nreportedly recovered over $2 billion of Abacha loot. Mr Obasanjo would<br \/>\nseem to confirm this fact when he stated in the second volume of his<br \/>\nbook titled My Watch that: &#8216;by the time I left office in May 2007, over<br \/>\n$2 billion and \u00a3100 million had been recovered from the Abacha family<br \/>\nabroad, and N10 billion in cash and properties locally.'&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Similarly, former president Goodluck Jonathan administration reportedly<br \/>\nrecovered $226.3 million and \u20ac7.5 Million from Liechtenstein. Some \u00a322.5<br \/>\nmillion was also recovered from the Island of Jersey while $322 million<br \/>\nand \u00a35.5 million from the Abacha loot were reportedly returned to the<br \/>\ngovernment.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The government of president Muhammadu Buhari has also recovered several<br \/>\nmillions of dollars of Abacha loot since assuming office in May 2015,<br \/>\nincluding $321 million from Switzerland, and $300 million from the US<br \/>\nand Jersey.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>SERAP therefore urged the Federal Government to:<\/p>\n<p>1.\u00a0 \u00a0 Disclose the exact amounts stolen by Abacha, and the total amounts<br \/>\nof the recovered loot and all agreements since the return of democracy<br \/>\nin 1999;<br \/>\n2.\u00a0 \u00a0 Disclose details of the projects executed with the funds,<br \/>\nlocations of any such projects and the names of companies and<br \/>\ncontractors that carried out the projects;<br \/>\n3.\u00a0 \u00a0 Disclose details of specific roles played by the World Bank and<br \/>\nother partners in the execution of any projects funded with Abacha loot<br \/>\nsince 1999;<br \/>\n4.\u00a0 \u00a0 Refer any allegations of corruption involving the execution of<br \/>\nprojects with Abacha loot to the Economic and Financial Crimes<br \/>\nCommission (EFCC) and the Independent Corrupt Practices and Other<br \/>\nRelated Offences Commission (ICPC) for investigation;<br \/>\n5.\u00a0 \u00a0 Ensure that anyone involved in alleged corruption in projects<br \/>\nexecuted with Abacha loot is brought to justice if there is relevant and<br \/>\nsufficient admissible evidence<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;By Section 1 (1) of the Freedom of Information (FoI) Act 2011, SERAP is<br \/>\nentitled as of right to request for or gain access to information,<br \/>\nincluding information on the exact amount stolen and spending of<br \/>\nreturned Abacha loot and related details.&#8221;<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"mail-message-footer spacer collapsible\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"m#msg-f:1658742758273553709\" class=\"mail-message expanded\"><\/div>\n<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Related Posts generic via filter on the_content -->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Scio-Economic Rights and Accountability Project (SERAP) has asked the Federal Government to &#8220;disclose within 7 days of the receipt and\/or publication of our Freedom of Information requests the exact amount&hellip;<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on wp_trim_excerpt --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on wp_trim_excerpt --><!-- AddThis Related Posts generic via filter on wp_trim_excerpt --><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":49993,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_lmt_disableupdate":"","_lmt_disable":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[17],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-71817","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-exclusive"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v26.8 -
