FG Inaugurates Panel To Recover Unremitted Revenues

Hopefully, NNPC will be forced to cough out
the billions of dollars they've been
commandeering and other guilty government
agencies will do the same. Without Sanusi's
brave action, this wouldn't have happened -
they can't sweep this under the carpet.
I wonder why it took Sanusi's letter for
these incompetent thieves to realize that
transparency is necessary in the
management of the nation’s abundant
extractive resources. Duk barawo banza.
The Federal Government yesterday
inaugurated an inter-ministerial task
team to recover all unremitted revenues
discovered from audit findings.
The move was proposed to government
by the Nigeria Extractive Industries
Transparency Initiative (NEITI).
Inaugurating the committee in Abuja, the
Secretary to the Government of the
Federation (SGF), Anyim Pius Anyim,
maintained that Nigeria signed up to the
initiative based on the clear conviction
that transparency in the management of
the nation’s abundant extractive
resources will boost government’s efforts
to reduce poverty, sustain development,
social harmony and better investment
climate.
Stressing that the Federal Government
fully supports the regular audit and
prompt implementation of issues that
may arise, he charged the reconstituted
task team to work closely with NEITI with
a view to ensuring prompt recovery of all
outstanding revenues due to the Federal
Government from audit findings.
The chairman of the task team, Ledum
Mitee, said the reports are not intended
to witch-hunt”.
