Major news outlets report that the Socio-Economic Rights and Accountability Project (SERAP) has asked Senate President Godswill Akpabio to reinstate Senator Abdul Ningi who was suspended for three months over his claims that the 2024 budget was padded by N3 trillion. SERAP also called on Akpabio to refer to the allegations that lawmakers padded the 2024 budget by irregularly inserting projects worth N3.7 trillion to the appropriate anti-corruption agencies for investigation and prosecution. The group urged the upper house to make a public commitment to discontinue the patently unlawful constituency projects in the next budget cycle. SERAP made these demands in an open letter addressed to Senator Akpabio dated March 16, 2024, and signed by its deputy director Kolawole Oluwadare.
