The Minister of Power, Works and Housing Mr Babatunde Fashola has been sued over his failure to account, for “the spending on the privatisation of the electricity sector and the exact amount of post-privatisation spending on generation companies (GENCOS), distribution companies (DISCOS) and Transmission Company of Nigeria”.

Socio-Economic Rights and Accountability Project (SERAP) which instituted the court action also wants Fashola to explain if such spending came from budgetary allocations or other sources.”



In the suit filed last week at the Federal High Court, Ikoyi, Lagos, SERAP is seeking “an order for leave to apply for judicial review and an order of mandamus directing or compelling Mr Fashola to provide specific details on the privatisation of the electricity sector, the names of all the companies and individuals involved; and to publish widely including on a dedicated website any such information.”
