Akande’s statement read in part: “Ad-Hoc Committee of the National Economic Council reported back to the Council that a number of revenue-generating agencies may have significantly under remitted returns to the Federation Account.
“The Council had previously ordered the forensic audit to review remittances of the agencies covering 2010 to May 2015. While Council received an updated interim report today, a final report is awaited next month.
“She explained that such Nigerians can take advantage of the Voluntary Assets & Income Declaration Scheme, VAIDS, to settle past taxation defaults.
“Letters would soon be going out to these Nigerians, including a number of prominent ones, asking them to take advantage of the tax amnesty in order to avoid prosecution and fines by simply paying up their tax defaults.
“The amnesty is available till March next year.”
