Please tribal bigots keep of.

You build your own house.
Provide security
Provide electricity (Generator)
No accessible roads.

Yet ,government will still come up with stupid levies.

Pls, what is the rationale behind asking borehole owners to pay 30k levy for providing water supply in their homes?

Is government in Nigeria different from other countries?
What is wrong with our leaders?

Is the national cake not enough for them again?

This can only happen when a government isn't working. I just hope home owners/landlord associations would sue the state government before they are robbed blind. As if paying tax isn't enough, I'd have to pay for the free water God has placed in the ground, IN MY COMPOUND, just because I dug to access it!

This law if implemented in Abia state will be adopted by other state governors in Nigeria and not too long it will be a standing rule across the 36 states of the federation including Abuja.

With the dwindling returns from Crude Oil Allocation to states many states are looking for alternative ways to step up their Internally Generated Revenue.

But this law on taxing borehole owners will remain controversial if implemented.

Mention a single structure put in place to enable Abia citizens enjoy and pay more taxes.

Or Ikpeazu only knows how to tax but not provide.

This is Nigeria who copy anything the white man does without thinking of the rationale behind it.

In western countries, you can't drill deep wells and bore holes anyhow without a license BECAUSE the government owns everything underground.

The government builds tunnels, drainages, sewers, bunkers etc underground. Hence, to drill a borehole for instance, proper allowance must have been made that it wouldn't obstruct current or future government projects.

Trust us in Nigeria: copycat with no brains. All the politicians want is money to spend.

That was how one Local government Task Force team was asking for my car RADIO licence. SMH

This can happen in a country that's so clueless about the suffering of the masses. Govt. couldn't provide water and u decided to open borehole water for yourself, now you are being charged 30k levy for doing a job that the clueless Govt couldn't do. That's ridiculously awful. Who us making these laws?. Is the Govt of Ikpeazu aware of the outrageous and inhuman levies?.

It is because the citizens are not politically conscious like those in the SS or SW. I weep for them cos I don't know when they will ever come of this bondage of political mediocrity

We pay this in port Harcourt every year.

It's collected by ministry of health, they call it water inspection and analysis.

They issue a lab report thereafter

It is similar to land use charge in Lagos n Ogun. But the state can incorporate and consolidate similar charges into Land use charge rather than having multiple charges

Initially it for those that sell water but I really don't know why government will do sure thing
Selling water or not .

The government failed to provide

Now the people are doing things for themselves
Providing light and water and basic infrastructure for themselves, government now want to bring their long leg to eat were they didn't work angry

I recall telling some persons on here that states merger would happen if resource control or federalism or whatever it is people are calling for kick in.

Most states don't have resources that can translate into money to take care of themselves and here we are; a state is at the verge of milking her people dry just because of there was a drop in Crude allocation to states.

What happens then when every state is left to fend for themselves? Perhaps the government would charge her people for the use of air and possibly the sun.

Big lie

Abia charges Land use charge and ground rent separately.

Don't equate this robbery with Land use charge.

As much as it is government's responsibilities to provide water, those who dig borehole for business purposes are suppose to pay a fee or a form of tax.

This levy is unenforceable. It's a utility levy. There is no way government can disconnect it since the water is not from water corporation under their control

Was it not in SS,,,bayelsa precisely; that their law makers just approved life pension for themselves? ?
While the oil producing state is currently owing a backlog of salaries with poor State infrastructure??
What are their politically conscious citizens doing about it??
What did the politically conscious citizens of SW do when Tinubu,a politician was driving bullion vans into his private residence? ?.
Instead it was people from other regions that raised red flags while the SW people were screaming jagaban!! "Igbos are jealous of Tinubu"!!....etc
And supported the man when he said it was "nobody's business"..
Was it not in the same SW that governors were using odourless fufu to secure votes??
Political conscious,,yen yen yen...
Someone will just wake up and start typing nonsense.

if care is not taken we might have "oxygen" tax if they can tax the water freely given by God.

There is nothing wrong in the levies...The underground water is our commonwealth..a few people can't just be having access to it free of charge..if the water finish we will all suffer.

What is key is that the govt spend the money well

Hopefully other states will copy and implement
