Reps to probe N20 trillion ‘non-remitted’ stamp duty
The lawmakers paased the resolution after adopting a motion of urgent national importance brought before it by Goni Lawal .The house resolution is coming months after an FOI request was sent in July on behalf of LeaksNG to the Central Bank of Nigeria , Office of the Secretary to the Government of the Federation , Nigerian Postal Service , and the Nigeria Inter-Bank Settlement System PLC.
Moving the motion, Mr Lawan urged his colleagues to investigate the matter after “efforts by both local and international civil society organizations to get details of the collections have failed.” “While the deductible amount per bank account may seem small, it cumulatively adds up to money in trillions of naira, and must be subjected to the full condition of disclosure and transparency.”
