The Kaduna State Governor, Nasir El-Rufai has again called out the Nigerian National Petroleum Company (NNPC) Limited for not remitting any revenue into the federation’s account since the beginning of 2022.
El-Rufai who spoke at the 2022 Tax Dialogue organised by the Kaduna State Revenue Service in the state capital on Monday, November 7, said NNPC’s failure to remit revenue into the federation’s account has plunged some states into distress.
He added that federal and state governments now rely on revenues and taxes generated by the Federal Inland Revenue Service and Nigerian Customs Service for survival.
The Kaduna State Governor also disclosed that some states can no longer pay salaries and fulfil their statutory obligation to citizens.
