“This will also send a positive signal to the public that the government is committed to balancing fiscal prudence with social equity.”
The House also summoned all the chairmen of the 23 local governments and heads of revenue departments to appear before it on Friday.
The resolution followed a motion by the Chairman, House Committee on Industry, Trade and Investment, Mr Moses Egbodo, who informed the lawmakers of their refusal to honour the invitation of the Joint Ad-hoc Committee on Finance, Industry, Trade and Investment, investigating the enforcement of the use of Benue sacks.
