RMAFC’s Recent Promotion to the Super League

The Revenue Mobilisation Allocation Fiscal Commission (RMAFC) recently made headlines with its plan to review Nigeria's revenue allocation formula, particularly focusing on the salaries of political office holders. While this move has sparked public interest, some argue that the commission should stay within its constitutional mandate.

RMAFC, an important institution in the Federation, is responsible for tracking and reviewing revenue allocation to ensure it aligns with current realities. Recently, the National Economic Council approved a fraction of revenue to fund RMAFC's operations, highlighting the need for improved funding.

Additionally, a new law was signed in April 2025 to provide funding from the Federation Account, with the National Assembly approving a significant budget allocation for RMAFC. The commission plans to allocate the funds towards personnel, overhead, and capital expenses, signaling a potential shift in its financial management.

These developments underscore the importance of monitoring how RMAFC utilizes its increased funding to avoid wastage and ensure accountability.
