JUST IN: Govs meet over excess crude account, petroleum profit tax
The Nigeria Governors’ Forum is set to convene a meeting tonight in Abuja to discuss issues related to local government administration, excess crude account, and petroleum profit tax among others.
The development comes a few hours after the governors and Council of Traditional Rulers met behind closed doors at the State House on Wednesday.
Informed sources within the NGF Secretariat in Maitama said the governors are scheduled to converge by 9 pm.
“The forum chaired by Kwara Governor AbdulRahman AbdulRasaq is expected to hear presentations from the Acting Director General of the Department of State Security, Adeola Oluwatosin Ajayi; former Vice President and Chair of Delegation at the African Medical Excellence Center, Namadi Sambo; and Group Chief Executive Officer of NNPC Limited, Engr. Mele Kyari.
“Key topics on the meeting’s agenda include updates on the United Nations General Assembly, ECA, reconciliation of PPT and royalties accounts/debt net-off, and the Transmission Company of Nigeria’s state billings for ground rent,” one of the sources hinted our reporter.
