The House of Representatives said it is ready to empower the Revenue Mobilisation Allocation and Fiscal Commission (RMAFC) to effectively carry out its statutory mandates.
The Speaker of the House of Representatives, Rt Hon Abbas Tajudeen, made this pledge while receiving the management of the RMAFC on a courtesy call at his Abuja office on Tuesday. He decried that the Commission has been battling several challenges, including inadequate funding and infrastructure. Speaker Abbas noted that the RMAFC was well known to him, being a member of the House Committee on Finance for eight years, from 2011 to 2019.
He said he had advocated additional powers for the Commission while assuring the management team of the resolve by the 10th House under his leadership to empower the agency. 'One thing that you can take away from this meeting is that the National Assembly, this time around, will make the difference you require,' he stated.
