SENATE INVESTIGATES NORTH WEST DEVELOPMENT COMMISSION
The Senate Committee on Regional Development has raised eyebrows over spending at the North West Development Commission.
Lawmakers allege that nearly 79 percent of N1.19 billion spent by the commission, about N943 million, went to board allowances.
They also queried why NWDC is the only regional commission without executive directors and employees since it was inaugurated in February 2025.
The oversighting ministry, the board and managing Director explained to the committee some problems affecting operations.
The committee however insists that urgent action is needed for the commission to deliver on development and security in the North West.
