Wike To Supreme Court: Accelerate Hearing On VAT
Rivers State governor, Nyesom Ezenwo Wike has appealed to the Supreme Court of Nigeria to give the case before it concerning the collection and distribution of Value Added Taxes generated from the State by the federal government the urgency it requires.
Governor Wike made the appeal at the match past and parade in commemoration of the 62nd independence of Nigeria at the Sharks Football Stadium in Port Harcourt on Saturday.
He explained that such urgency and eventual ruling of the case in favour of the State, will further add more financial resources that will accelerate the economic growth of Rivers State.
“We have also not given up in our determination to right the injustice associated with the collection and distribution of Value-Added Taxes generated from the State by the Federal Government just as we again call on the Supreme Court to please, treat this matter with the urgency that it requires”, he said.
