The Human Rights Writers’ Association of
Nigeria (HURIWA) has challenged the Fiscal Responsibility Commission
chairman Aliyu Jibril Yelwa to disclose the identities of public office
holders involved in “high-profile corrupt practices”.
The group made the call against the
recent interview Yelwa granted to Daily Trust in which he said a certain
government revenue-generating agency was paying revenue to a
politician, without naming the agency and the politician involved.
HURIWA, in a statement in Abuja, gave Yelwa seven days within which he must declare the identities of such public officers or face legal action to compel compliance with the provisions of the Freedom of Information Act.
