Amosun Disagrees With Federal Ministry Of Finance, NBS, FIRS On VAT Contributions 



The Ogun State Governor, Senator Ibikunle Amosun, has described data presented by the Federal Ministry of Finance, National Bureau of Statistics and the Federal Inland Revenue Service as regards the contributions of the state to the Value Added Tax as a misrepresentation.

Amosun said the claim that Lagos State contributes more than Ogun State cannot be true as Ogun State has the highest number of industries in the country.

The governor, who was speaking during a facility tour of an indigenous armoured vehicles manufacturing company, situated in Ode-Remo area of the state, faulted the presentation by the agencies that out of 916 high net worth individuals paying tax to the federal purse, only two are from Ogun State.

“Not less than 27 high net worth individuals in the state pay at least N20 million monthly as tax to the federal purse,” he said, urging the agencies to cross check their data.

This basis of his argument is very very weak. He should present facts and not some lafun and gbegiri talk.

GboyegaD, what statistics have you got to contradict Amosun's claim. If you say his thesis is weak, what statistics have you shown to contradict him. You can not make a blanket statement. The onus is no you to prove him wrong, whereas the governor revealed an undisputable fact that Ogun state is the industrial hub of Nigeria.

All I have said is he should prove his statement that the various bodies have provided wrong statistics by showing us proofs. At the moment, I am only asking for evidence for his claim and nothing more.

As a statistician, I would say his argument is very weak. In fact, all he has said is an "hypothesis " since he has no data or proof to back it up.

Besides, "Statistics don't lie, Humans do... "

Probably a bastard yoruba.

A true yoruba boy doesnt insult his elders. He finds a diplomatic way of passing his message!

Speech is still free in naija!

Seriously, with ur reasoning abilities, i'm sure u're ipob!

First u insult yorubas, then u're pissed when u get insulted?!

We cant all sleep n all of us will align. There will always be diversity, n if u cant see that, then u dont get what being yoruba means.

Omoluabi, agreeing to disagree, without rancour.

Bleep u, too!
