    Federal Government Defends Constitutional Legitimacy of Budget Re-enactment

    The Attorney-General says the National Assembly can repeal and re-enact budgets as a ‘clean slate’ approach to reduce legal risk and improve transparency.

    Further reporting across multiple outlets indicates the development is drawing heightened attention, with stakeholders watching for next steps from relevant authorities and institutions.

    Echotitbits take: This ‘clean slate’ approach to budgeting is a tactical move to prevent the executive-legislative friction seen in previous years. The success of this N48.31 trillion plan will depend entirely on the transparency of the newly introduced ‘Renewed Hope’ ward projects.

  • SERAP threatens legal action over ₦6tn NDDC judgment and transparency demands

    SERAP threatens legal action over ₦6tn NDDC judgment and transparency demands

    2025-12-14 13:23:00

    According to The Punch, SERAP says it may sue the Attorney-General of the Federation over issues linked to a reported ₦6tn judgment involving the NDDC and broader accountability concerns.

    The group’s stance, as reported, focuses on transparency demands and what it argues should be the public’s right to clarity on large judgment-related liabilities.

    Such legal threats can trigger official responses, document releases, or court filings that shed more light on how liabilities are incurred and handled.

    Analysis/Echotitbits take: If litigation proceeds, the most important developments will be court filings and verified documents—not social media summaries. Watch for statements from the AGF’s office, NDDC, and any court timetable that could force disclosures.
