Uju Kennedy-Ohanenye, Nigeria’s Minister of Women Affairs, has raised concerns and threatened legal action against the United Nations (UN) over alleged financial mismanagement.
She voiced her grievances during a press conference held in Abuja on Monday, October 16.
The minister asserted that the UN had been receiving funds from donors on behalf of Nigerians but had failed to provide a transparent and accountable record of how these funds were utilized.
“I stand here as the minister of women affairs to demand from all the UN of the account of all the monies they sourced from donors in Nigeria’s name. We want to see the account of what they did.
If you don’t give us this account, at least let Nigerians see what’s going on, then you [UN] apologize to them. If we don’t get that report between now and November 15, we’re heading to court,” she said.
