Uju Kennedy-Ohanenye, the minister of women's affairs, requested the UN Monday to announce funds raised from donors for the benefit of Nigerians in 30 days or face legal action from the ministry.
This was said by the minister in an AIT interview.
Kennedy-Ohanenye claimed that the UN has not been open about how it used the money it received from donations for Nigerians.
The UN was given a one-month ultimatum by the minister, which runs from October 16 to November 15.
She stated she was drafting a pre-action notification that would be delivered to the UN.
She said: “And I stand here as a Minister of Women Affairs to demand from UN, all the UN; that we want account of all the money they sourced from donors in the name of Nigeria.
“We want to see the account of it and if you don’t give us this account, at least let Nigerians see what has been going on. Then you plead with them, apologise to them and change your ways.
“From 16th of October to November 15th. If we don’t see these reports published for Nigerians to see, we are heading to court. From 16th of October to November 8, they get our pre-action letters.
“That is to prepare them on the 15th, we are heading to court. And I am promising Nigerians that immediately it is that 15th, by the next day, you will hear the suit number and all of you;
“We will gather to that place for the case to come on, and call for them to call for them to defend the money, they are using you to collect from donor.”
