The House of Representatives Committee on Solid Minerals Development on Friday decried the attitude of some foreign nationals to the solid minerals sector, particularly two Chinese companies who, it said, are owing the Federal Government over ₦15 billion Value Added Tax (VAT).
Jonathan Gaza, the committee’s chairman, stated this in Abuja during the Ministry of Solid Minerals Development ministerial retreat for top management and other staff of the ministry.
Though he did not disclose their names, Gaza explained that the discovery came to light during an investigation conducted by the green chamber. (Channels)
