National Assembly Urges NIIT To Increase IGR Base

THE National Assembly has advised the Nigerian Institute of Transport and Technology (NITT) to embrace modern techniques and strategies needed in raising its revenue base.

Members of the National Assembly joint committee on land transport, who were on inspection visit to the Institute in Zaria to ascertain the level of ongoing projects at the institution, urged the institute to publicise its activities in order to increase its fortune.

Speaking during the visit, Chairman Senate Committee on Land Transport, Senator Olugbega Ashafa, charged the Institution to imbibe modern management techniques as strategies in creating awareness on what they can do and how to generate revenue.

“As it is now, the institute is something to be proud of. The management has done very well in maintaining a vibrant environmentally friendly atmosphere for people to come in. And we are expecting that they work more in the area of internally generated revenue because they have so many equipments on ground and there are so many services they can render.”
