If confirmed, Mr Shehu would replace Elias Mbam, who resigned to pursue his gubernatorial ambition in Ebonyi.
Elias Mbam, chairman of the Revenue Mobilisation Allocation and Fiscal Commission (RMAFC) has joined the Ebonyi governorship race for the 2023.
“Our state is…the only state in southern Nigeria with the highest number of poor citizens. I’ll reverse this trend if I become governor in 2023.”
The consensus of the states and the federal government at the various zonal public hearings was a reversal of the current sharing formula.
RMAFC says the revenue allocation formula review will be ready for presentation to President Muhammadu Buhari by the end of 2021.
Elias Mbam, Chairman of the Revenue Mobilisation Allocation and Fiscal Commission (RMAFC), says it is regrettable that the South-East has become a violent region amid wanton killing.
The RMAFC boss declined to confirm if the salary would be reviewed downward or upwards.
