'SERAP missing N26.9bn claim against USPF misleading' - Yaro

Abubakar Yaro, a public affairs analyst and accountability advocate, stated that the Socio-Economic Rights and Accountability Project's (SERAP) claim of N26.9 billion missing from the Universal Service Provision Fund (USPF) is misleading. He explained that available data shows the average annual allocation to the USPF was about N7.5 billion, raising questions about how N26.9 billion could be lost. Yaro also noted that over N13.8 billion of the referenced amount relates to operating surplus deductions managed by the Nigerian Communications Commission (NCC).
