Human rights and environmental defender Prince Odey Oyama has questioned the utilization of the ₦3.7bn that accrued to Ikom Local Government Area (LGA) from the Federation Account Allocation Committee (FAAC) in eight months.
In a statement made available to Pillar Today, Oyama accordingly called on the Executive Chairman of Ikom LGA “to publish her administration’s blueprint, budget, and financial records in line with transparency and accountability standards”.
Oyama cited official FAAC data showing that “Ikom LGA received over ₦3.7 billion between November 2024 and June 2025, yet the reported projects appear to be worth less than ₦50 million”.
The activist urged the Council to release details of all allocations, expenditures, and projects, and confirmed TV that copies of his request have been forwarded to the President, EFCC, ICPC, IGP, and the Press for action”.
He said the need for the publication of the budget and receipts from FAAC by the Chairman is for the collective interest of the Ikom people and transparency.
