North Central Development Commission Clarifies ₦140bn Budget Reports, Emphasizes Transparency

The North Central Development Commission (NCDC) dismisses reports of inaccuracies in its proposed ₦140 billion 2025 budget, clarifying adjustments made during a recent budget defense session at the National Assembly. The Executive Director of Corporate Services, James Uloko, explained that the circulated figures did not reflect the final budget proposal, as the NCDC is still in its early operational stages.

Uloko emphasized the transparency of the budget process, highlighting that the proposal is subject to further review and approval by the National Assembly committees. The NCDC reassured Nigerians of its commitment to openness and accountability in its budgetary planning.
