The Fiscal Responsibility Commission (FRC) has accused about 32 government agencies of failing to remit their 80 per cent operating surplus to the Consolidated Revenue Fund (CRF), thereby hindering accurate determination of operating surplus liabilities and diminishing accountability and transparency in handling government revenue.
The commission said over N1.2 trillion in revenue was still being withheld by the defaulting agencies, keeping money away from government’s reach for funding of its budget.
The Chairman of the Commission, Victor Muruako, who spoke while briefing National Assembly correspondents Wednesday, said the agencies failed to submit their audited account to the commission to enable it calculate their operating surplus which is supposed to be paid into the Consolidated Revenue Fund of the Federation.
