Between January and May, it received ₦15.17 billion, spent ₦1.2 billion, and maintained a balance of ₦13.97 billion as of July 5, 2026.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>The chief executive noted that the Commission is intensifying efforts to improve funding from statutory sources, including the Federation Account, Ecological Fund, and VAT, to enable it to execute its regional development mandate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>Ma’aji said procurement scheduling has commenced in line with due process, while consultations with North West states have identified priority areas.

Although ₦145.61 billion was budgeted for 2026, actual monthly releases were only about 3% of allocations, slowing project implementation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>The CEO, however, cited differing interpretations of the NWDC Act between the Governing Board and Management, as well as board meeting delays, which have affected the execution of programmes.
