The Speaker of the House of Representatives, Femi Gbajabiamila, has asked the Revenue Mobilisation Allocation and Fiscal Commission to explain the much-criticised remuneration and welfare package of members of the National Assembly to Nigerians.
He said, “It is revenue that takes a country from point to point. For any country that wants to grow, revenue is key to nation-building. That is why RMAFC is an essential component of the government in this country.”
Gbajabiamila noted that everyone, including the President, Major General Muhammadu Buhari , was waiting for the states to turn in their report on the amendments before any further actions could be taken by the government. Gbajabiamila, who advised the RMAFC to build a central monitoring platform to monitor revenue movements in all government revenue-generating agencies, asked the commission to submit a detailed proposal on its needs to enable the House to work on it speedily.
