SHETTIMA ASSURES RMAFC OF FG SUPPORT TO MEET MANDATE
The Vice President, Sen. Kashim Shettima has assured the Revenue Mobilization Allocation and Fiscal Commission (RMAFC) of Federal Government’s support in order to make it more proactive and responsive to its mandate.
Shettima gave the assurance today when he received a delegation of the Commission led by the Chairman, Mohammed B. Shehu in his office at the Presidential Villa.
While underscoring the importance of the Commission to the polity, the Vice President stated that the work of the Commission transcends all tiers of government especially at it relates to its onerous task of assisting government to generate adequate revenue to deliver on the democratic dividends across the federation.
He noted that the Federal Government under President Bola Tinubu would address some of the challenges facing the Commission, noting that some of the solutions might require the input from the subnational to the federal and the legislative to the judiciary.
The Vice President stated further that since the Commission is a constitutional body, any amendment to its mandate must pass through the National Assembly especially any changes that would affect its operations, so that “you can perform your constitutional functions without difficulties.”
