The members of Senate were stunned on Wednesday when the ad hoc committee investigating the suspended Secretary to the Government of the Federation, Mr Babachir Lawal, told the Upper Chamber that the SGF allegedly spent N570m to cut grass in Yobe State alone.
Chairman of the ad hoc committee, Senator Shehu Sani, said their investigation revealed that Mr Lawal spent N570m and not N272m as previously claimed.
He added that the Presidential Initiative on the North-East (PINE) under the office of the SGF flouted the rules of procurement in awarding contracts.
