On a motion by Senator Dino Melaye (PDP, Kogi West), supported by Senator Atai Aidoko (Kogi East), the Senate mandated its Committee on Local and Foreign Debts to investigate an alleged plan by the Kogi State Government to borrow US$500 million (about ₦180 billion) from East West Capital Corporation in the United Arab Emirates without National Assembly approval. Melaye said the loan was described as debt refinancing to avoid seeking approval, and that the state already owed about ₦40 billion.
