The Government of Ogun State in South West Nigeria has taken a swipe at the Socio-Economic Rights and Accountability Project (SERAP) over its petition to the United Nations Rapporteurs on sacked education officials of the state.
In a press statement signed by the Secretary to the State Government, Mr Taiwo Adeoluwa, the Ogun State government accused SERAP of jumping the gun and crying more than the bereaved.
“Had SERAP examined and understood the facts that led to the decisions of the Ogun State Civil Service Commission, it would have appreciated they were not even remotely connected with the constitutionally-guaranteed rights to freedom of thought, conscience and expression or academic freedom, which formed the kernel of its petition to the United Nations Special Rapporteurs,” the statement read.
