“In a separate development, the House Committee on Public Accounts has successfully recovered N199.3 million out of an outstanding N6.8 billion, comprising excessive charges levied between March and October 2015 and unremitted Value Added Tax (VAT) on transactions processed via the Remita platform from 2015 to 2022.

“The House of Representatives had 2024 mandated the Committee to investigate revenue leakages and non-remittance of funds by Ministries, Departments, and Agencies (MDAs) through Remita. This directive followed a motion sponsored by Hon. Jeremiah Umaru, which was subsequently referred to the Committee.

“The Federal Government had previously directed value chain providers, including banks, Remita, and the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN), to refund 1% of transaction charges collected via Remita between March and October 2015.

“An audit of records from banks and Remita revealed that while N7,626,503,441.42 had been refunded, an outstanding sum of N1,984,355,431.08 remained unpaid.

“Applying the prevailing Monetary Policy Rate (MPR) of 27.25%, the accumulated interest on the unpaid sum amounts to N4,842,928,161.36, bringing the total refundable amount to N6,827,283,592.44.

“The Committee confirmed that on March 13, 2025, Guaranty Trust Bank (GTB) settled N40.6 million in overdue charges between March and October 2015,” he added.
