Stamp Duty: Rivers, FG Opt For Out-of-court Settlement by ijustdey: 11:01am On Apr 21, 2023

The Rivers State Government has agreed to an out-of-court settlement with the Federal Government on the backlog of stamp duty owed to the state.

The approval for the state to withdraw the case was granted by the state House of Assembly during plenary on Thursday.

This came as all 36 states of the federation are exploring out-of-court settlement over a case filed at the Supreme Court on the refund of funds collected as stamp duties from the state governments and the payment of five per cent consultancy fee.

The Speaker of the Rivers State House of Assembly, Ikuinyi Awani-Ibani, on Thursday, read a letter from Governor Nyesom Wike seeking the approval of the House for the payment of the consultancy fee which will be deducted from source.

The lawmakers said the approval for an out-of-court settlement would help to fast-track the refund of all funds collected as stamp duty.

The leader of the House, Martins Ameawhule, explained that the approval would be beneficial.

He stated, “We have looked into the merits and demerits of this. I think that if the consultants were engaged and they need to be paid, we can go ahead to pay the consultants; so that we can access our funds. They would have played certain roles that would make them be in a position to receive the percentage of the funds accruing to the state.

“Mr Speaker, I want to say that we proceed to grant approval for this request so that our state will be part of what other states have agreed to enable these funds get to Rivers State as quickly as possible.”

Wike is desperately currying Tinubu's favour. Supreme Court will never decides in favour of Rivers and others. Tinubu will surprise this guy. EFCC will pick you and Tinubu will try to be neutral and do nothing. Tinubu needs incorruptible global and domestic perceptions to strengthen his political legitimacy

Both the FG, State governments, state assembly, and the consultants are thieves, stealing from the people.

It is a war between the elite and the masses. They said it is for the funds to come as quickly as possible into the looting purse.

Although he is a lousy man, Nyesom Wike has done well for his state. The next governor of Rivers State should focus on taking development to the rural areas. Rivers State should go beyond Port Harcourt.

Also, build your people too to be more productive and not depend on handouts from oil companies and federal government amnesty money.

Instead of allowing the Supreme Court to determine the case once and for all, the structures of criminality have aligned again to the detriment of the Nigerian people

Can someone please create a thread on Saudi Arabia...
Na weytin dey my mind rn.
I get plenty wey I wan talk and my hand is itchy.
The 9/11 attack was induced by the CIA.
It was another pretext similar to the WMD pretext for the invasion of Iraq.
But the God of Sultan Mehmed II in his infinite mercy directed the Saudi leadership and they prevailed over the antics of the West.
The destabilization of Saudi Arabia was neccessary because it invalidates the sermons of the West on democracy.

Nigeria should be like Saudi Arabia where
"the KSA provides native Saudis with more than adequate welfare benefits, removing the need to live and work in other developed countries.

There are a variety of reasons why so few Saudi Arabians chose to permanently live to the United States. Among these were the wealth of Saudi Arabia, the religious faith and pride of Saudis who found it difficult to maintain an Islamic lifestyle in the United States, and a lack of factors motivating citizens to leave Saudi Arabia. The limited number of marriages between the US and Saudi citizens may also have contributed to the low number of Saudi immigrants and of Saudi American" Wikipedia...

My interests is a developed and prosperous Africa where ordinary Africans have the resources to travel and explore the world without having to dehumanize themselves.

I think say na only me dey think like this. Wike definitely lives a very expensive lifestyle and would be looking to maintain that without unlimited access to the state treasury and the SIM card he inserted in the govt House maybe betray him like wike did to others. In all, Wike na the real victim of 2023 election
