Senate Confirms 18 Commissioners for Revenue Mobilization, Allocation and Fiscal Commission

In a significant development, the Nigerian Senate has confirmed the appointment of 18 Federal Commissioners of the Revenue Mobilization, Allocation and Fiscal Commission (RMAFC). This decision was made after the submission and consideration of the report by the Chairman of the Joint Committee on National Planning and Economic Affairs and Finance, Sen. Abdullahi Abubakar (Kebbi North) during a plenary session on Wednesday.

The confirmation of these commissioners is expected to bring about a new era of transparency and accountability in the country’s revenue management and allocation. The RMAFC is responsible for ensuring that federal revenues are fairly distributed and used effectively to benefit the country.

The confirmation process was carried out after a thorough screening of the nominees, which did not yield any serious concerns or objections from the Senate. This move is seen as a positive step towards strengthening the RMAFC and ensuring that it carries out its functions effectively.

The appointment of these commissioners is expected to have a significant impact on the country’s economic development, as they will be responsible for ensuring that federal revenues are wisely managed and allocated to support national development projects and initiatives.
