The Chairman of the Presidential Fiscal Policy and Tax Reform Committee, Dr. Taiwo Oyedele, has reaffirmed the crucial role of the Fiscal Responsibility Commission (FRC) in driving Nigeria\u2019s fiscal and tax reform agenda.<\/p>\n

In the course of a working visit to FRC\u2019s Executive Chairman and management team in Abuja, Dr. Oyedele emphasized the Commission\u2019s strategic importance in institutionalizing fiscal policies for economic stability, a statement by the Commission\u2019s Spokesperson Bede Ogueri Anyanwu noted.<\/p>\n

Acknowledging the FRC\u2019s contributions to Nigeria\u2019s financial framework, Dr. Oyedele commended the Commission for its promotion of transparency and accountability in public finance. He noted that despite its efforts, the FRC has not received adequate recognition or support.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Fiscal Responsibility Commission plays a vital role in solving Nigeria\u2019s economic challenges,\u201d he stated. \u201cYet, it remains underappreciated despite its significant contributions.\u201d<\/p>\n

Dr. Oyedele stressed that he believes the FRC would serve as a key implementation body when the proposed reforms are passed into law. He underscored the need to leverage the Commission\u2019s expertise to ensure transparency in revenue generation and fiscal management.<\/p>\n

In response, the Executive Chairman of the FRC, Victor Muruako Esq., welcomed the visit, describing Dr. Oyedele as a visionary leader committed to Nigeria\u2019s economic transformation. He expressed confidence in the\u00a0 Fiscal Policy and Tax Reform Committee\u2019s work, stating that full implementation of its recommendations would reduce the government\u2019s reliance on borrowing.<\/p>\n

Highlighting the FRC\u2019s achievement in introducing a standardized template for calculating Operating Surplus across MDAs, he also pointed out challenges facing the FRC, \u00a0 which included the Commission\u2019s limited enforcement powers, inadequate funding, and not being nominated into key committees that deal on fiscal issues.<\/p>\n

He called for legislative amendments to strengthen the Commission\u2019s authority and improve its operational capacity.<\/p>\n

Dr. Oyedele assured the FRC of his Committee\u2019s commitment to work closely with the Commission to implement necessary reforms. He also commended Muruako\u2019s leadership and efforts in ensuring fiscal discipline within government institutions.<\/p>\n

The meeting concluded with a shared commitment towards strengthening fiscal responsibility, enhancing tax administration, and ensuring that Nigeria\u2019s economic reforms lead to sustainable growth.<\/p>\n

Dr. Oyedele was accompanied by some members of the Presidential Committee on Fiscal Policy and Tax Reforms, including Dr. Anthony George and Professor Uche Uwaleke.<\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
