The House of Representatives Committee on Finance has uncovered huge disparities in figures presented by agencies on their Internally Generated Revenue (IGR) and remittances to government.

The chairman of the committee, Representative Abdulmumin Jibrin, revealed on Thursday that figures presented by the Budget Office, the Accountant General’s office and the Fiscal Responsibility Commission for their IGR and remittances were not coherent.

Other agencies are the Nigeria Communications Commission, Nigeria Ports Authority and Nigerian Maritime Administration and Safety Agency (NIMASA), gave the house different remittance figures for the years 2009 to 2012.

The figures tendered differ from the one before the house.

Mr Jibrin gave the agencies 24 hours to reconcile the figures with the relevant government bodies and come up with the figures they must remit to government.
