HOUSE OF REPS ISSUES 14 DAY ULTIMATUM TO THE RMAFC
The House of Representatives on Wednesday, issued a fourteen day ultimatum to the Revenue
Allocation and Fiscal Commission to advise President Goodluck
Jonathan to forward a revenue sharing formula to the National Assembly.
The resolution followed a motion by Ali
Madaki who contended that no president had sought the input of the National
Assembly to the nation`s revenue sharing formula since 1999, as enshrined in the
constitution.
Rulling on the matter, Speaker Aminu Tambuwal
said the ongoing constitution amendment process includes an amendment to ensure
that the Revenue
Allocation and Fiscal Commission forwards a reviewed revenue sharing formula to the National
Assembly instead of the sitting president as currently practiced.
