Efcc probes nassemblys n300bn allocation 2014 2015 budgets

A very interesting topic!

The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has indeed launched an investigation into the alleged misappropriation of N300 billion allocated to the National Assembly (NASS) in the 2014 and 2015 budgets.

According to reports, the EFCC is investigating the alleged diversion of funds meant for the National Assembly's operations and projects to personal accounts of some lawmakers and officials.

The investigation was sparked by a petition filed by the Socio-Economic Rights and Accountability Project (SERAP) in 2015, which alleged that the National Assembly had misappropriated the funds allocated to it in the 2014 and 2015 budgets.

The petition alleged that the National Assembly had failed to provide adequate information on how the funds were utilized, and that the alleged misappropriation was a violation of the country's constitution and international human rights law.

The EFCC has since launched an investigation into the matter, and has invited several lawmakers and officials of the National Assembly to answer questions and provide information on the alleged misappropriation.

The investigation is ongoing, and it remains to be seen what the outcome will be. However, the fact that the EFCC is investigating the matter is a positive step towards ensuring accountability and transparency in the use of public funds.

It's worth noting that the National Assembly has denied any wrongdoing, and has claimed that the allegations are baseless and politically motivated. However, the EFCC's investigation is expected to shed more light on the matter and determine whether there is any truth to the allegations.

In any case, the investigation is a reminder of the importance of transparency and accountability in the use of public funds, and the need for lawmakers and officials to be held accountable for their actions.
