NULGE wants LGs to collect VAT, Borno advises South

The NULGE President, Akeem Olatunji, who stated this in an interview with one of our correspondents on Sunday, said VAT collection would impact the communities and people more positively if collected by the third tier of government.

On his part, Olatunji argued that VAT collection should be the responsibility of the local councils “since both companies and consumers reside within the LG areas.” But a three-man panel of the Court of Appeal, on Friday, asked the parties to maintain the status quo. Some other states such as Edo, Ondo, Oyo and Taraba said they were still studying the ruling of the Federal High Court in Port Harcourt on the matter, while Delta State said it was consulting before it would take a position on the issue.

“I feel strongly that states will be far better off with the FIRS collecting the tax and keeping it in the harmonised Federation Account pool.”On his part, the Osun State Attorney-General, Femi Akande, in a chat with one of our correspondents on Sunday, said whatever decision the state would take, it would not oppose Rivers and Lagos states.

Why is Borno so interested in some southern state’s inabilities to survive? Abeg face your front & be more concerned with Borno state. Another is this NULGE, all these while, why didn’t they approach d court. Northern Nigeria is fighting so hard to stop the south from development
