Nigerian Parliament Indicts Agip, MTN, Glo, Others Of Tax Evasion


The Chairman of the House of Representatives Committee on Public Accounts, Oluwole Oke has accused some firms operating in Nigeria of evading tax.

Speaking while receiving the Minister of Industry, Trade, and Investment, Otunba Niyi Adebayo, on Thursday, Oke said that several companies operating in the country were in the habit of not paying statutory taxes to the government, causing a revenue shortage for the operation of public services.

“There is a company that puts up a show and usurps the functions of NEPZA who are supposed to remit its operating surplus. But its licensees have undermined the agency. Millions of dollars that are supposed to go into NEPZA’s coffers are going into private pockets. That is why we are trying to find out if there is a need to review existing laws because the Parliament will not allow the country to continue to bleed.
