Senator Ali Ndume has said that $1b is too small fund the fight against Boko Haram.
The Nigerian Governors’ Forum (NGF) had earlier approved the withdrawal of $1b to be used in the fight against the sect.
The Senator also said that the money is too small, compared to the level of destruction in the North-East.
He said “No amount is too much to spend on securing the country.”
Militants in the Niger Delta called on the government to withdraw the sum of $1b from the ECA for the development of the Niger Delta.
