Senate Says N2.9bn Monthly Release Inadequate for N140bn NCDC Budget

The Senate has expressed concern over the insufficient monthly funding of N2.9 billion for the N140 billion budget of the North Central Development Commission (NCDC), urging it to prioritize agriculture and security projects due to the financial constraints. This decision highlights the ongoing struggle to balance resource allocation amid national developmental needs. With a larger budget than many countries in Africa, the NCDC's ability to meet its goals is being questioned, underscoring the need for more strategic and efficient use of funds.
