 Oyebanji’s Aides Resolve Tax Dispute Between EKIRS and Printers' Association


The Senior Special Assistants to the Ekiti State Governor on Tax and Revenue Matters, Hon. Ayodeji Adarabierin, and IGR, Hon. ‘Yomi Oso, have successfully mediated a tax dispute between the Ekiti State Internal Revenue Service (EKIRS) and the Association of Professional Printers of Nigeria (APPON).


The disagreement stemmed from allegations of arbitrary taxation and unfair assessments imposed by EKIRS on APPON members. Following weeks of tension, the governor’s aides facilitated negotiations and dialogue between both parties, ensuring a peaceful resolution.


Reaffirming Governor Biodun Oyebanji’s commitment to a fair and transparent tax system, the officials emphasized the importance of engaging stakeholders, including taxpayers and government agencies, to maintain a conducive business environment. They also pledged to prevent future disputes by acting as intermediaries between EKIRS and taxpayers.


APPON Chairman, Mr. Fabusola Omotayo, expressed gratitude for the swift intervention, noting that it would ease the tax burden on printers and support industry growth.


Meanwhile, EKIRS Chairman, Mr. Olaniran Olatona, reassured taxpayers that no new taxes would be introduced but stressed the government’s intent to block revenue leakages and ensure proper collection of statutory levies. He urged aggrieved taxpayers to seek clarification from EKIRS rather than escalate disputes.
