  The Hardship in Nigeria won’t end even if Tinubu remains in power for 300 years – Deji Adeyanju Human rights activist and lawyer Deji Adeyanju has stated that President Bola Tinubu will not be able to alleviate the hardships in Nigeria, even if he were to remain in power for 300 years. Adeyanju argued that the difficulties faced by Nigerians will persist under Tinubu's leadership because he lacks solutions to the ongoing issues. He made these comments during an interview with DAILY POST, where he also addressed various topics, including the prosecution of EndBadGovernanceInNigeria protesters and the presidential ambitions of Atiku Abubakar and Peter Obi. In response to a question about his views on the current state of the country, Adeyanju likened Nigeria to a concentration camp where citizens are trapped. He suggested that if the United States were to make its borders visa-free for Nigerians, we would see how many would choose to stay. He described Nigeria as a place where the ...

FG UNFOLDS PLANS TO CUT DOWN ON COST OF TAX EXPENDITURE, ENSURE TAX INCENTIVES



The federal government has revealed plans to ultimately cut down on the cost of tax expenditure and ensure tax incentives which would positively impact the economy.


The Honourable Minister of Finance and  Coordinating Minister of the Economy, Mr Wale Edun, recently approved the inclusion of an Incentive Monitoring and Evaluation Platform (IMEP) in the current Import Duty Exemption Certificate (IDEC) process.


The IDEC automation, which was introduced as from 1st March, 2020, is a Fiscal incentive by the federal government under the Ministry of Finance to boost sectors of the economy by exempting critical players from paying import duty and all other statutory customs charges respectively.


In his statement: *This is to provide the Federal Ministry of Finance with a robust automated tool for more effective Monitoring and `Evaluation (M &E) measurement of the impact of all customs duty exemptions issued by the Ministry to government entities, companies, non- governmental oganisations (NGOs) and international organisations.*


According to him, the system is designed to provide a framework to exclude and restrict ineligible applicants, enforce strict compliance to fiscal policy measures and provide a robust impact analysis of tax incentives on the economy. This will further eliminate the misuse of tax expenditures; support the delivery of economic outcomes from fiscal incentives and strengthen the direct measurement of the impact of tax incentives on the economy.


He listed the key features of the IMEP to comprise: duty waiver claw back mechanism for issuance of demand notices to defaulters which would prevent misuse of issued incentive, e-report generation, a centralised database, factory geo-location tagging, industry qualification status validation, and inter- ministries department and agency (MDA) integration.


Mr Edun stated further that a webinar would be conducted on Tuesday, 23 April 2024, to provide clarity on the revised IDEC process.


He therefore called on all key industry stakeholders, including manufacturers, importers, MDAs, NGOs to attend, stating that the link for the webinar would be published on the Ministry of Finance website, and on the IDEC’s YouTube channel.

  SSANU, NASU threaten strike over withheld salaries The Joint Action Committee of the Senior Staff Association of Nigerian Universities and the Non-Academic Staff Union of Educational and Associated Institutions have threatened to disrupt industrial peace in universities should the government fail to release the withheld salaries of members. The salaries were seized by the administration of former President Muhammadu Buhari during their strike in 2022. The unions, in a joint letter signed on Friday by the President of SSANU, Muhammed Ibrahim and General Secretary of NASU, Peters Adeyemi, questioned the rationale with which the government released four months withheld salaries to members of the Academic Staff Union of Universities but failed to release the withheld salaries of non-academic staff. The unions noted that they would no longer be able to assure the government of industrial peace in universities should the amounts owed by the government are not released. Earlier, the uni...
