In a bid to control revenue losses due to inefficient revenue collection systems, the Federal Capital Territory Administration (FCTA) and the six area councils have jointly designated FCT Internal Revenue Service (FCT-IRS) as the single revenue entity to collect all taxes and non-tax revenues collectible by both levels of government in the territory.

This template was disclosed yesterday, at the press briefing on the resolutions reached at the Stakeholders’ Retreat on the harmonisation of revenue and ease of doing business in the FCT.

The permanent secretary of FCTA, Mr Olusade Adesola, who performed the official unveiling of the template at the event, said it was pursuant to the resolutions of the retreat tagged: “ Akure Accord,” which the immediate past FCT minister, Mallam Muhammad Musa Bello, inaugurated the FCT Joint Revenue Committee chaired by the chairman of the FCT IRS, Haruna Abdullahi.

Adesola added that the overarching outcome of the “Akure Accord” is the phasing out of technical partners from direct collection of revenues by area councils.

The permanent secretary further said that each area council and any of their agents designated to identify, assess and account for any revenue head for this resolution shall work collaboratively with the FCT-IRS towards the actualisation of this objective including in the sharing of necessary data.
