This report says the Socio-Economic Rights and Accountability Project has asked President Muhammadu Buhari to investigate how over eleven trillion naira meant to provide regular electricity supply has been allegedly squandered by governments since 1999.
SERAP made the request in a letter signed by its Deputy Director, Kolawole Oluwadare.
The letter followed the collapse of the national grid, which has plunged the country into total darkness.
SERAP in the letter urged the President to urgently implement documented reports of cases of corruption in the electricity and prosecute those who are culpable.
The group gave President Buhari seven days to start the investigation or it will consider necessary legal actions to compel his government to do so in the public interest.
