Seized funds as proceeds from illegal business is cool but what do you mean by "dormant" funds?

Do you mean unclaimed dividends by shareholders or unclaimed funds sitting in banks in which the family of the deceased spends years fighting administrative bottlenecks and corruption?

DO NOT REPLY THIS COMMENT WITH EXPLETIVES OR ILLOGICAL FACTS. I don't roll with kids or men who have barrage of family problems. Just stay far from me.
I think it should be unclaimed bank deposits and dividends. There are some idle funds that probably their owners are late and the families aren't aware that their late ones has such funds.

As your drug baron Tinubu has been pocketing Lagos allocations since 1999.

Shame no dey catch Una say one man and his family has kept Lagos in his pocket for more than 2 decades
Okay let's agree that Tinubu has pocketed Lagos according to you right? So what about the other 35 states that aren't pocketed by anybody, why are they yet to catch up with Lagos in terms of visible development. Why are they not overpopulated like Lagos State? At least a pocketed state ought not to be overpopulated.

To enlighten people like you is impossible.

Osun state will do better with the resources of Lagos state than Lagos is doing recently.

Lagos was the capital of Nigeria before. It host the nation international seaports and airport and it's has two borders with other nations.

It's a pity you people don't know what Tinubu has done to Lagos treasury

Is that the avenue they want to use and loot it and claim the gave it to Nigeria students. Nigeria students have no reason going to sch on loan when we have countries doing free education and don't have half of our resources
And is that why Obi increased the school fees as governor instead of making it free? Or you think Obi can increase the school fees but the other government must make it free. Are you one of the audio billionaires? Hahahaha

Very Commendable move by the President.

I like the govt priority to University education, especially with this NELFUND.
Re: Tinubu Directs EFCC to channel seized and Dormant Funds To NELFUND by Oba1ni(m): 9:33pm On Aug 19
The Nigerian President does not have "sole jurisdiction power" to unilaterally or arbitrarily direct the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) or move unclaimed funds, as executive directives must still operate within the bounds of the 1999 Constitution and existing statutory laws like the Finance Acts and the Proceeds of Crime Act.

Constitutional and Legal Realities
1. Separation of Powers: The 1999 Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria (as amended) does not grant the President sole or absolute jurisdiction over public or private funds. Executive authority must be exercised in accordance with the Constitution and extant Acts of the National Assembly.
2. Statutory Trust Funds: Unclaimed dividends and dormant account funds are regulated by specific legislative frameworks (such as provisions relating to the Unclaimed Dividends Trust Fund and Dormant Accounts Trust Fund under capital market and banking laws). Moving them requires compliance with or amendment of those governing statutes, not merely an executive pronouncement.
3. The Requirement of Due Process and Court Orders: As clarified by the administration's own briefing on the NELFUND funding directive, funds subject to ongoing litigation or legal challenges are strictly excluded, and relevant ministries and the Attorney-General of the Federation must establish a legal and operational framework rather than executing arbitrary seizures.
4. Protection of Private Property: Section 44 of the Nigerian Constitution guarantees the right to private property and prohibits compulsory acquisition of any right or interest in property without prompt compensation and due process of law. Private citizen funds held in dormant accounts or unclaimed dividends cannot be arbitrarily confiscated without proper legal mechanisms or statutory trusteeship provisions.
