Ned Nwoko, a senator from Delta North, has stated that he was given N1 billion for constituency development.
In a podcast, Nwoko supported Senator Ali Ndume’s assertions that the amount of funding provided to lawmakers frequently fluctuates according to the scope of the projects their constituents are involved in.
The lawmaker said: “Senators get what they lobby for, not because they have the right to it. Everybody just goes about doing what they can do for their constituencies and senatorial districts.
“A better approach would have been for senatorial uniformity. So if they say that everyone should get about N1 billion, be it. But this way, you rely on your weight and contacts to see what you can get for your people.
“We are not talking about money for the senators. This is for projects within our senatorial districts. If you have road, water, or training programmes, all should aggregate to a particular amount.”
On if he received as much as N1 billion in allocation, the senator said: “Of course I did. That’s why I am who I am. But these are projects for my people.” [CONTINUE READING HERE]
