A senator representing Delta North. Senatorial District, Ned Nwoko, has claimed that he received more than N1 billion for constituency projects in the 2024 budget.

Nwoko corroborated Senator Ali Ndume’s claims that the allocation of resources to the legislators often varies based on the magnitude of their constituency projects, indicating that it’s not uncommon for some, including himself, to receive larger amounts.

“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,” the lawmaker revealed in a podcast released on Saturday.

Asked if he got as much as N1 billion in allocation, the senator replied, “Of course, I did. That’s why I am who I am. But these are projects for my people.”

Nwoko’s revelation is coming amid the recent controversy of budget padding alleged by Senator Abdul Ningi of the 2024 budget with an extra N3.7 trillion, a fund not tied to any extra project.

While the Red Chamber has denied any wrongdoing, some senators have come out to clarify the amount allocated to them for constituency projects in their various districts.

In reaction to the developments, Nwoko made it clear that the allocated funds are for financing projects, not for personal reimbursement of individual senators.

Hmm

Na wa o. This practice of sharing money should stop. Nigerians are really fools.

The worst part is dat many will pocket this money while their people who voted them in suffer

This is why politicians go to any lengths to get elected, most of these constituency projects will never be executed and the money will be released to them in full through their companies or proxies

The rice sharing money among themselves

The 1bn is being spent on Regina and her mother and not the constituency.

The system breeds corruption.

What's the business of a lawmaker with project execution?

Whoever introduced the ' constituency project ' to the NASS has done us a disservice. It should be scrapped !

And it ended up where?

In the beginning all of Una Shouted"Let the poor breath" amid laughter and mockery and now the poor aren't breathing anymore

Learn to read, no money was shared.
It is the money the federal government will spend on projects in Nwoko's district
and not Nwoko's personal money.

Ned Nwokos constituency is Regina Daniel 😂😂😂

Hmm. The question now remain, what do these senators do with this money? If they're really using the money for what it's meant for, I believe many communities won't be the Hell hole it is today.

So, if Ned Nwoko is saying he received such amount, it is left for members of his constituency to hold him to his words, and ask him to give account on how his spent that money.

Why una dey para? Na una constituncy?

Besides many of una dey worse.

Please, can Ned show us what project(s) he has completed in his constituency since he made his way to this chamber of honorable men
