Dr. Shehu made this known during a courtesy visit to the JICA Nigeria office in Abuja on Monday, August 4, 2025. The visit, he said, was a follow-up to earlier engagements and a strategic effort to unlock new avenues of technical and institutional support for the Commission. Speaking furthet, Dr. Shehu appreciated the Government of Japan for its ongoing development support across Africa, noting that “Japan has been a true partner in Nigeria’s developmental efforts, particularly through initiatives like the Tokyo International Conference on African Development (TICAD) and the One Village One Product (OVOP) model, which has greatly impacted livelihoods across West Africa.” Dr. Shehu stated that the RMAFC is charged with two (2) major responsibilities; to monitor the accruals to, and disbursement of revenue from the Federation Account; and advice the Federal and State Governments on Fiscal Efficiency and methods by which their revenues can be increased. He added that the Commission monitors the activities of all revenue generating agencies in Nigeria. He said, "RMAFC is facing growing pressure to expand revenue sources and block leakages of revenue accruable into the Federation Account. We believe JICA’s expertise in fiscal modeling, institutional reform, and technology-driven solutions can provide the Commission with the tools it needs to optimize revenue collection and allocation.” The RMAFC Chairman further highlighted the Commission’s current drive to build internal capacity by developing sectoral models, strengthening ICT systems, and engaging in study tours and international best practices. He stated, “We seek JICA’s support in tailored training, provision of monitoring equipment, staff sponsorship for study visits to countries like Japan, and participation in global conferences relevant to its mandate.” Responding, the Senior Representative of JICA Nigeria, Mr. Tetsuya Yamamoto, who represented the Chief Representative, Mr. Susumo Yuzurio, expressed JICA’s willingness to explore areas of collaboration with RMAFC in line with its core mandate. He remarked that “JICA is committed to building a foundation for sustainable economic growth in Nigeria by strengthening fiscal institutions, improving governance capacity, and promoting transparency in public finance.” Mr. Yamamoto added that JICA’s cooperation strategy in Nigeria covers areas such as agriculture development, business environment improvement, institutional strengthening, health systems, and children’s learning, stressing that “we are open to supporting RMAFC’s initiatives that align with our mission of inclusive and stable development.” The meeting concluded with mutual commitment to continue dialogue and establish working-level frameworks to move discussions into action.
