SERAP drags Minister of Finance, Ngonzi Okonjo-Iweala to Court Over ‘missing N30tn’

The Socio-Economic Rights and Accountability Project on Tuesday asked a Federal High Court in Lagos to compel the Minister of Finance, Dr. Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala, to offer explanation on the N30tn, which allegedly went missing under her watch.

The suit marked FHC/L/CS/196/2015 came after the minister allegedly failed to oblige the organisation’s request to furnish it with information as regards the allegedly missing money pursuant to the Freedom of Information Act.

Okonjo-Iweala had come under the spotlight following an allegation by a former Governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria, Mr. Chukwuma Soludo, that not less than N30tn had either been missing, or stolen, or unaccounted for, or simply mismanaged under her watch as the Minister of Finance.

JLo blame herself for Crashing Relationship With Ex

She might not have been the best when it comes to relationship but I believe she has created a lot for herself and her kids. Jennifer Lopez felt like she “did something wrong” when a former partner strayed.

The singer has been married three times and most recently had a relationship with backing dancer Casper Smart, which ended last year. She has also had high-profile romances with the likes of Puff Daddy and Ben Affleck, and while the 45-year-old didn't reveal which one of her former flames she was referring to during an interview with British magazine Loaded, she did confess to blaming herself.

“I've been in relationships where there has been infidelity and you're left to feel like you did something wrong, like there's something wrong with you, you're not enough, all of those feelings that we struggle with,” she revealed. “Men and women go through this by the way, it's not just a woman thing.”
