The Yobe State House of Assembly has disclosed that it has suspended the screening of Mr. Sani Kaitafi, as the chairman of the state Internal Revenue Board, in order to carry out some oversight functions in the board.
Speaker of the House, Rt. Hon. Ahmed Lawan Mirwa, stated this yesterday in a message to the Yobe State Governor Mai Mala Buni.
This was contained in press statement signed by the Director General, Press and Media Affairs to the governor, Mallam Mamman Mohammed.
Mohammed stated that the House advised the state government to halt further actions and maintain the status quo ante, pending the conclusion of the oversight function and approval of the appointment.
The statement added, “The Assembly wants to be on the same page with the executive arm before the commencement of new leadership of the board.”
Rt. Hon. Mirwa said that the oversight function is intended to strengthen revenue generation and block all leakages.
He assured the readiness of the Assembly to work with the executive arm of government for the development of the state.
