Government urges parastatals to explore ideas to generate revenues
The Permanent Secretary, Special Duties Office (SDO), Festus Yusufu Narai Daudu, has urged parastatals to explore ideas to generate revenues, assuring them of his unalloyed support and co-operation for effective performance of their functions.
Besides, he further charged the National Lottery Trust Fund (NLTF) and its management to explore ways of generating more revenues to boost the nation’s revenue.
Daudu spoke yesterday in Abuja during the briefing by the chief executives of Nigerian National Merit Awards (NNMA), National Lottery Regulatory Commission (NLRC) and the National Commission For Refugees, Migrants and Internally-Displaced Persons (NCFRMI).
In a statement signed by a Director of Press in the office, Osagie Jacobs Julie, the Permanent Secretary urged the revision of the action plans/roadmaps of the (NLRC) and the National Lottery Trust Fund for better regulation of the industry in the area of tax remittances to the Federal Government to move the sector forward.
It also advocated harmonisation of the roles of both agencies to avoid areas of conflict.
