This is good for Nigeria's judicial and legislative development. I feel there is no fairness in the sharing of the collections by Federal agencies. States that have natural resources lay claim to 13% derivation. But Lagos does not have any special claim to the VAT and NPA, customs and excise levies generated in Lagos. Each state should benefit from its area of strength. |

This is another problem with the Judiciary Most of these judges presiding over tax cases have no knowledge on tax laws |

PenuelFarms:this is going to be a long and hard battle, Lagos and Ogun especially should ask to be joined as plaintiffs in this suit because they're the ones to benefit the most by this. I dare add Oyo state which is another industrial hub. Though I'm sure party politics will trump common sense at the end of the day |
