Bauchi State Governor, Senator Bala Mohammed, has announced plans to set up a functional cash flow system that would ensure smooth and efficient remittance of state’s taxes.

The governor announced this yesterday, when he granted audience to officials of Revenue Mobilisation Allocation and Fiscal Commission (RMAFC), Abuja, on an advocacy visit at the Council Chambers, Government House, Bauchi.
Mohammed, observed that, the cash flow system would go a long way in paving way for his administration to settle all the tax liabilities inherited from the previous administrations.

He said since coming on board, his administration deemed it necessary to look at the best ways of making meaningful contributions at the federation account through compliance to tax remittance guidelines.

According to him, “We are privileged to receive you today. The Revenue Mobilisation Allocation and Fiscal Commission has been doing well especially ensuring justice and equity in the disbursement of funds to tiers of government.

“As a Governor heading a sub-national, I have the responsibility to ensure adequate remittance of revenue to federation.”
The governor therefore reassured of the readiness of the state government to work with the RMAFC to achieve the desired objectives to enhance revenue generation for execution of developmental projects.

Earlier, the Commissioner representing Gombe state in the commission, Kabiru Usman who led the delegation said the RMAFC was working round the clock to discharge its responsibilities for economic development.

“Bauchi State and in particular, your administration is doing well in tax remittance. We will continue to support you to succeed in that regard,” he added.
