Senator Ned Nwoko Draws attention to Unfunded Agency, 5,000 Workers Unpaid
Following today’s budget defense session at the National Assembly, Distinguished Senator Ned Munir Nwoko has brought to light a critical funding gap affecting an agency that has remained unfunded for years.
Expressing deep concern, he highlighted the plight of over 5,000 employees who have gone without salaries, stressing the hardship this has caused their families. The Senator described this revelation as his major takeaway from the proceedings, vowing to champion efforts within the National Assembly to address the anomaly.
He reaffirmed his commitment to working closely with the executive to ensure that necessary steps are taken to rectify the situation and provide relief to the affected workers. The Senator further reiterated his belief that this issue will be addressed and resolved through collaborative efforts.
This situation underscores the importance of legislative oversight as a vital mechanism for identifying and addressing systemic gaps. It also highlights the complementary roles of the legislature and the executive in working together to resolve challenges that may arise from bureaucratic inefficiencies. At the heart of these efforts must always be the well-being of the people who suffer the consequences of such administrative oversights.
