Investigations revealed that many farm produce, most of which are perishable, are subjected to multiple layers of taxation both on the farmers, the middlemen and the end buyers, a situation which has made business slow, with attendant losses being suffered by farmers who must sell at whatever price to avoid their produce perishing. A bag of fresh pepper which is currently selling at the cost of N1000.00 attracts a multiple layer of levies from the Benue State Internal Revenue Service (BIRS) cumulatively amounting to over N700.00, leaving the trader with less than N300.00. While Gov. Ortom has been declaring a monthly IGR receipt of N500 million only, Mrs. Orubibi on the other hand is said have consistently maintained that the agency under her leadership is gathering in over N1 billion monthly. It is the contention by many in the state that the high and multiple taxes imposed by the Ortom administration on people and businesses in the state is not justifiable, particularly considering the poor performance of the administration which has failed to execute any project of significance in over a year. See more photos from the protest below....

With this taxation on almost everything, the kind inflation that will soon be showing will be nothing less than 25% and that would be a full blown famine! I wish our leaders will ever get sense to think of the plight of the common man! 5 Likes |

Most Nigerian states don't know what they are doing. Creating an enabling environment for business to trive most times inviolves tax waiver or tax reduction especially on the type of products involved. The government wants to make money at all cost at the expense of local poor farmers who they haven't supported with fertilizers, pesticides, irrigation technology, weather and climate information, constant training, loans for procuct processing etc and they just jump up and tax heavily. Please ensure that during the next elections, it's either technocrats with good leadership skills that get into power or no elections. Naija must hear the populace now. 4 Likes |
