The World Bank has said that it needed additional time to provide a comprehensive response on how the loot recovered from former Nigerian leader, General Sani Abacha was disbursed.
The Socio-Economic Rights and Accountability Project (SERAP) had requestedfor information on the spending of recovered assets stolen by the late army general.
However, in a letter dated 15 October 2015 and signed by Ann May of the Access to Information Team, the Bank said that “In response to your request under AI3982, we would like to inform you that we are still considering your request and need additional time to provide you with a more comprehensive response.”
The letter reads in part “In most cases, we will be able to respond within twenty (20) working days from receipt of a request for information. However, we may need additional time in special circumstances, for example, if the request is complex or voluminous or if it requires further review by or consultation with internal World Bank units, external parties, the Access to Information Committee, or the World Bank’s Board of Executive Directors.” it added.
