The organization emphasized that Nigerians are keenly awaiting the release of this information as they have a legitimate right to be informed about the utilization of palliative funds.

SERAP warned that if the governors fail to comply with this request within the stipulated timeframe, the organization would resort to all necessary legal actions to compel their compliance.
