The Senate has commenced investigations into the 2021 and 2022 budgeting system used by the National Agency for the Control of Aids in preparing its annual budget.

Chairman, Senate Committee on Primary Health Care and Communicable Diseases, Senator Elisha Abbo, made the disclosure when the Director-General of NACA, Gambo Aliyu, appeared before the committee for the 2023 budget defence.

Abbo said putting recurrent items under capital budget was a misnomer.
