The House of Representatives Committee on Disability has opened an investigation into the National Commission for Persons with Disabilities amidst allegations of financial misconduct related to a ₦97 million Point of Sale (PoS) contract. The examination commenced during an investigative hearing at the National Assembly Complex in Abuja, where concerns were voiced by members of the disability community regarding inappropriate procurement practices and poor project execution by the commission.

Chairman Bashiru Dawodu highlighted the necessity of the probe to address various complaints linked to the commission's contract awards and administrative procedures. This investigation aims to ascertain the legitimacy of the procurement processes and uncover any potential discrepancies that might undermine the trust of disabled persons towards the commission, which is supposed to advocate for their rights and welfare.

The investigation is seen as a significant step toward ensuring accountability, as various stakeholders, including petitioners like Abdullahi Ibrahim, articulated fears about inflated projects and mismanagement of funds intended for benefiting persons with disabilities. The outcome of this inquiry could have important implications for the future operations of the commission and its capacity to serve the needs of the community effectively.
