Nami stated this when he appeared before the House of
Representatives Committee on Finance on Wednesday, in Abuja, at a public
hearing by the committee on the 2022-2024 Medium Term Expenditure Framework
(MTEF) and Fiscal Strategy Paper (FSP).
He said that the N10.1 trillion was the global figure
projected to be generated and remitted to the Federal Government in 2022 by the
FIRS, the agency responsible for assessing, collecting and accounting for tax
and other revenues accruing to the Federal Government.
Rep James Faleke, the chairman of the committee, urged the
FIRS management to put in the required determination, to ensure that the target
was met.
He also commended the previous effort of the FIRS at
ensuring that their revenue generation targets were met, while urging the
service to strive to do more in its revenue generation mandate.
The lawmaker had earlier described the MTEF and FSP, with a
three year plan, as a major feature of the annual budget preparation cycle,
saying that it provided the basic estimates and assumptions for the annual
budget. (NAN)
