Nigeria’s Senate grills the North West Development Commission (NWDC) over governance and spending concerns, focusing on about N943 million reportedly spent on board allowances. Multiple outlets report that senators question the commission’s management practices and the timeliness of key appointments, including delays in naming executive directors. The reports also cite broader concerns about internal operations, including alleged divisions within the commission. The Senate’s interrogation is framed as an effort to clarify how funds are used and why certain leadership positions remain unfilled or take longer than expected. Outlets describe the session as part of the Senate’s oversight role, with lawmakers seeking explanations from NWDC officials on both financial and administrative matters. While details of the commission’s responses are not included in the provided summaries, the outlets converge on the same core issues: the N943 million board allowance figure, delayed appointments—particularly for executive directors—and questions about governance and internal cohesion. The coverage indicates the Senate is seeking accountability and transparency regarding the commission’s activities.
