Sunday Aborisade in Abuja
The Senate on Wednesday escalated its confrontation with federal Ministries, Departments and Agencies (MDAs), threatening budgetary and disciplinary sanctions against institutions that ignore legislative resolutions and repeatedly fail to honour invitations to account for their activities.
The development came as the Senate adopted a comprehensive report of its Committee on Legislative Compliance, which revealed that several resolutions passed between July 2023 and December 2025 on critical national issues, including road rehabilitation, disaster management, compensation for victims and public sector reforms, had either been delayed or completely ignored by the Executive and the affected agencies.
In a related development, the Senate Committee on Sports Development warned it would seek disciplinary action against officials of the National Sports Commission (NSC) after the commission’s leadership failed to honour its invitation to explain issues relating to its finances and operations.
