The Chairman, Revenue Mobilization Allocation and Fiscal Commission (RMAFC), Engr. Elias Mbam cordially invites Stakeholders including the States and Local Governments, Members of the Public, the Society, the Mass Media, the Academia, Women and youths Groups and all interested Parties to a Zonal Public Hearing on the review of the current Revenue Allocation Formula. The zonal public hearing being organized by the Commission in all the six geo-political zones in the country is to further give Nigerians the opportunity to express their views and submit memoranda on the exercise.

2.        It will be recalled that the first Zonal Public Hearing slated for the North Central Zone was held in Lafia, Nasarawa state between 11th and 12th September, 2013.

3.        Members of the public may also recall that the Commission had earlier placed advertisements in April, 2012, inviting memoranda from the Federal, State and Local Governments, Members of the Public, the Civil Society, the Mass Media, the Academia and all interested parties towards the preparation of the new revenue allocation formulae. This Zonal Public Hearing is therefore to provide another platform for Stakeholders to interact and share views on the review exercise.  

South East Zonal Public Hearing will come up in Enugu on 26th and 27th September 2013, Venue: Golden Royale Hotel, Enugu, Enugu State, Time 9am Daily.

HUMAN RIGHTS WRITERS’ ASSOCIATION OF NIGERIA (HURIWA) hereby call on all members of the Civil Society Community in the South East to attend this event and present the position of the people of SOUTH EAST. Lets do it now to avoid shouts of marginalization after the new revenue allocation formula is released without our input as a collective.
