The two billion naira was said to be meant for Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises, MSMEs, development fund of Central Bank of Nigeria, CBN.
The governor had on September sought the approval of the House over the fund and got the passage from the House.
But, the NGO in a bid to stop the government and other stakeholders from disbursing it, went to the Federal High Court and sought for an order restraining the CBN, it’s agents or any other person from allowing the government getting access to the fund.
The presiding judge, Folashade Ogunbanjo after listening to all the parties adjourned the case to December 10, 2014 for hearing.
