ATT appeals to Tinubu: Include RMAFC in Executive Order implementation committee

AI Summary

The Arewa Think Tank appealed to President Bola Tinubu to include the Revenue Mobilisation, Allocation and Fiscal Commission (RMAFC) in the committee implementing his newly signed executive order on oil and gas revenue remittance. The order directs direct remittance of oil and gas revenues to the federation account to improve transparency and restore constitutional revenue entitlements for federal, state and local governments. Convener Muhammad Alhaji Yakubu praised the order but noted that RMAFC was not listed among the implementation committee members and respectfully requested its inclusion. The appeal underscores concerns about oversight of revenue allocations and may influence policy discussions ahead of upcoming elections.
