July 30, 2023 1:56 PMThe federal high court sitting in Lagos has ordered the Delta government to disclose the details of over N200bn in education funds spent under the administration of Ifeanyi Okowa.

On July 17, Daniel Osiagor, the presiding judge delivered the ruling following a freedom of information suit marked FHC/L/CS/803/2019 filed by the Socio-Economic Rights and Accountability Project .for the spending of the UBEC funds but his administration declined at the time.

“Why should a request for details of disbursement and spending of public funds between 2015-2019 by Delta state be a cause of litigation for four years? Public officials are fast developing a state of anomie and cold feet when confronted with requests for audit reports of public duties and budgets,” the judge observed.
