Human Rights Writers Association of Nigeria has urged the embattled Minister of Humanitarian Affairs and Poverty Alleviation, Betta Edu, to tender her resignation and submit herself for investigation by the EFCC
HURIWA made this call following the Federal Government’s ongoing N44.8 Billion Fraud investigation in NSIPA as it involved the public fund she allegedly deposited in a private individual’s bank account.
The group emphasized on the potency of the public sector financial regulations of 2009, which prohibits the payment of public funds to the account of a private individual.
It urged the President and the EFCC to use the best global practice in the enforcement of the anti-graft laws since the law shouldn’t be made to favour individuals because they are top officials in the ruling All Progressives Congress.
