The Senate has urged the National Planning Commission, NPC to develop a policy framework that creates mechanism for development cooperation and aid effectiveness in Nigeria.
The Senate also directed relevant standing committees to oversee Ministries, Departments and Agencies , who are beneficiaries of development aids, grants to consider such aids in the appropriation of funds for MDAs’ activities.
It also advised the state government’s Planning Commissions and Houses of Assembly to domesticate and implement federal policies and laws to enable states to achieve effectiveness in aids administration.
The call by senate followed a motion sponsored by Senator Oloriegbe Ibrahim, and 52 other senators.
Presenting his motion at plenary, Ibrahim said that there had been an increase in humanitarian and emergency related aids to Nigeria.
Senators that contributed to the motion emphasised the need to check the activities of non- governmental organisations who received funds from donor agencies without judicious use of the funds for what it was disbursed for.
