At least 21 nominees have been confirmed by Nigeria senate as federal commissioners of the Revenue Mobilisation Allocation and Fiscal Commission (RMAFC).
President Bola Tinubu had in August appointed the nominees and soughted for the senate’s confirmation.
The confirmation was a sequel to the presentation and consideration of the report of the Joint Committee on National Planning and Economic Affairs and Finance for the Confirmation of the Nominations for Appointment as Federal Commissioners in the Revenue Mobilization, Allocation and Fiscal Commission (RMAFC).
The upper legislative chamber on Wednesday confirmed the nominees after Yahaya Abdullahi, senator representing Kebbi north, presented a report.
Abdullahi, chair of joint committee on national planning and economic affairs and finance, said all the nominees are fit to hold public office. Noting that with the appointments, every state in the country is represented on the RMAFC board.
