He said a 10% increase would be the revenue target for 2026, and additional 10% increase for 2027 fiscal year.<\/p>\n<p>On his part, the Group Chief Executive Officer, GCEO, of Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited, NNPCL, Mele Kyari, noted that the Company exceeded the N12.3 trillion revenue projected for 2024 by already raking in N13.1trillion.<\/p>\n<p>He said: \u201cFor the 2025 fiscal year, N23.7 trillion is projected by NNPCL to be remitted into the federation account.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Also in his presentation, Chairman of Federal Inland Revenue Service, FIRS, Zacch Adedeji, informed the joint committees that FIRS had surpassed targeted revenues across the various tax components.<\/p>\n<p>He said that on Company Income Tax, N4 trillion was targeted, but N5.7 trillion has been realised.<\/p>\n<p>On Education tax, while N70 billion was targeted, a total of N1.5 trillion has been realised.<\/p>\n<p>He said: \u201cAll in all, out of N19.4 trillion targeted for 2024 fiscal year, N18.5 trillion was realised as at the end of September.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis clearly shows that the target will be far exceeded by the end of the year.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Why is FG still borrowing- Senate<br \/>\nAt the end of their presentations, members of the Committees took them up on why the Federal Government is still seeking for foreign loans despite the high increase of internally generated revenues.<\/p>\n<p>Senator Adamu Aliero (PDP Kebbi Central) was the first to ask: \u201cWhat is the Federal Government doing with excess revenues generated by the various agencies in view of its unending request for foreign loan approval?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>In his response, the FIRS boss noted that loans being requested by the executive were already part of the appropriation act.<\/p>\n<p>He said: \u201cBorrowing is part of what have been approved by the National Assembly for the Federal Government, meaning that the executive borrows based on approval of the legislature.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe fact that we meet revenue targets, and even surpassed them as revenue generating agencies, does not mean that the borrowing component of an appropriation law, passed by the National Assembly should not be activated.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>However, the Immigration Service of Nigeria ran into troubled waters at the interactive session over highly lopsided Private Public Partnership, PPP, arrangements on passport production, which gave consultancy firm 70% of proceeds and government 30%.<\/p>\n<p>The Chairman of the Committee, Senator Sani Musa ordered Immigration to present all the documents on the unacceptable PPP arrangement to the committee before the end of the week.<\/p>\n<p>He said: \u201cThe so-called PPP arrangement must be reviewed or cancelled because Nigeria and Nigerians are seriously being short-changed.\u201d<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"mail-message-footer spacer collapsible\" style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Related Posts generic via filter on the_content -->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Nigeria Customs Service, NCS; Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited, NNPCL, and Federal Inland Revenue Service, FIRS, have all exceeded their revenue targets.
