NIGERIA (Abuja)- The Secretary to the Government of the Federation (SGF), Anyim Pius Anyim, has inaugurated an inter-ministerial task team that will work for the recovery of unremitted revenues discovered from audit findings.

Speaking during the inauguration, the SGF maintained that Nigeria signed up to the initiative based on the clear conviction that transparency in the management of the nation’s abundant extractive resources will boost government’s efforts to reduce poverty, sustain development, social harmony and better investment climate.

He said the Federal Government fully supports the regular audit and prompt implementation of issues that may arise, stressing that the reconstituted task team should work closely with the Nigeria Extractive Industries Transparency Initiative (NEITI), with a view to ensure prompt recovery of all outstanding revenues due to the Federal Government from audit findings.
