The Socio-Economic Rights and Accountability Project (SERAP) has urged the Minister of Finance and Co-ordinating Minister of the Economy, Taiwo Oyedele, to “immediately disclose the identities of all local contractors, subcontractors, consultants, vendors, and other entities that benefited from the payments under the National Public Security Communication System project in Abuja, commonly referred to as the $460 million Abuja CCTV Project.”
The Federal Ministry of Finance, in response to SERAP’s contempt proceedings, had recently disclosed that: “Records from the Ministry of Police Affairs indicate that while local subcontractors may have been engaged, there is an absence of detailed subcontracting records identifying specific local companies that received funds directly from the Chinese loan.”
The Ministry made the disclosure in a letter dated 15 May 2026 and signed by the Permanent Secretary, Federal Ministry of Finance, R. O. Omachi.
Responding, SERAP in a letter dated 23 May 2026 and signed by its Deputy Director, Kolawole Oluwadare, said: “We are concerned that although the judgment was delivered in May 2023, the Ministry only released some information after we commenced contempt proceedings and served a Notice to Show Cause in January 2026.”
