Niger State Governor, Mohammed Bago, has called on the National Assembly to investigate the N90 billion released for the 2024 Hajj subsidy operation, citing the National Hajj Commission’s (NAHCON) “failure” in managing the funds.
In a statement issued by his Chief Press Secretary, Bologi Ibrahim, on Sunday, Governor Bago expressed disappointment with NAHCON’s performance, stating that the N90 billion subsidy would have been better utilized if shared with states.
He noted that the funds could have covered the Universal Basic Education budget for four years.
