Politics / Lagos Chairmen Demands 50-50 Vat Sharing Formula by bolaji1023(f): 7:43am On Sep 09, 2021
T LG chairmen kick against Sanwo- Olu’s 75-25 VAT sharing formula, demand 50-50 The conference 57 secretary demanded a 50-50 sharing formula, contrary to the 75-25 proposed in the bill in favour of the state government. NEWS AGENCY OF NIGERIA • SEPTEMBER 9, 2021 Lagos State governor, Babajide-Sanwo-Olu and Rivers State governor, Nyesom Wike he Conference of 57 Local Governments and Local Council Development Areas (LCDAs) in Lagos has requested equal sharing formula with the state in the proposed value-added tax (VAT) bill now before the Lagos House of Assembly. The secretary of the Conference 57 and chairman of Odi-Olowo/Ojuwoye LCDA, Abdulrasak Ajala, made the request at a one-day public hearing on the bill organised by the Lagos Assembly on Wednesday. The parliament is considering a tax bill titled ‘A Bill for a Law to impose and charge Value Added Tax (VAT) on certain foods and services, provided for the administration of the tax and for related matters’, following Rivers’ example. Mr Ajala explained that for the councils to pursue meaningful development, they required a better sharing formula for its members in the proposed VAT law. The conference 57 secretary demanded a 50-50 sharing formula, contrary to the 75-25 proposed in the bill in favour of the state government. Being the closest to the grassroots, Mr Ajala explained that the councils, which also host companies, should benefit from a better share than the 25 per cent in the bill. The council chairman commended the legislators for the bill, as well as the synergy between the executive and the legislature. “On the distribution of revenue, you will agree with me value-added tax is on consumption and production, and all these economic activities are domiciled in our respective communities. In addition, local governments, being the closest to the grassroots, need more revenues given the enormity of the responsibilities the Constitution confers on us,” he noted. “Hence, the 25 per cent in the bill is grossly inadequate for local governments to execute all the promises we made to our people; and of course all our electoral promises.” Mr Ajala further stated, “This is the reason we are making a passionate appeal, on behalf of Conference 57, that we should raise the bar higher, from 25 per cent to 50 per cent.” Contributing, Michael Ade, representing the Lagos Tax Justice and Governance, commended the lawmakers and the state government for having the political will to imitate Rivers’ government and parliament. Also commenting, the attorney general and commissioner for justice, Moyosere Onigbanjo, declared that the judgment on the VAT law was not valid only in Rivers, but any state in the country stood to benefit from the judgment. According to the attorney-general, the National Assembly does not have powers on VAT. The House Committee on Finance chairman Rotimi Olowo, insisted that it would make no sense if all monies accruable to Lagos was taken by the federal government. Mr Olowo argued that given the pressures on the state governments in terms of infrastructure development, the proposed law on VAT in the state would bring about development. The Speaker of the parliament, Mudashiru Obasa, assured stakeholders at the public hearing that their contribution were as vital as the bill and would be included in the proposed bill before its passage.

Crime / Buhari Condemns Killing Of 22 Persons In Plateau by bolaji1023(f): 8:18am On Aug 15, 2021
President Muhammadu Buhari has condemned attack on travellers from
a religious event in Bauchi State who were passing through Rukuba,
near Jos, Plateau State.
The 22 victims were on their way from the ‘Annual Zikr prayers’ in
Bauchi State when they were attacked on Saturday.
Reacting, Buhari’s Senior Special Assistant to the President on Media
and Publicity, Garba Shehu, in a statement on Saturday said the
attacks on innocent citizens was unacceptable, heinous, and stand in
complete contradiction to the teachings of the great religions.
He stated that the incident was a direct, brazen and wickedly
motivated attack on members of a community exercising their rights
and with the evident preparedness, it was clear the attack was a well-
conceived and prearranged assault on a known target, location and
religious persuasion of the travellers.
He added that Buhari has ordered security agencies to fish out the
perpetrators and bring them to justice.
Buhari also condoled with families of the victims.
He noted that the Federal Government will continue to liaise closely
with the local authorities including security, the police, and
governmental agencies as the facts of the sad incident continue to
unfold.

Sports / Messi Will Not Renew His Fc Barcelona Contract by bolaji1023(f): 7:05pm On Aug 05, 2021
Another shocking turn in the Lionel Messi saga. Diario MARCA has
published a report saying it’s “almost impossible” that Messi will renew
his FC Barcelona contract.
“There has been a radical turnaround in the case of Lionel Messi’s
renewal with Barcelona, with recent information being that the deal was
close to being announced, yet a blockbuster revelation has suggested
that Barcelona will now not be able to re-sign the Argentine,” claims the
Madrid-based paper.
This news comes in stark contrast with previous reports, which claimed
that an investment made by the company CVC into La Liga would make
it easier for the Catalans to stay under the salary cap with Messi taking
a 50% pay cut.
This new report says that while the cash injection would help, it would
still keep the situation quite fraught in terms of the wage bill.
And one big complication is that were La Liga to accept the cash
injection, the big teams would be forced to abandon the European Super
League concept. This is something that Real Madrid and Barcelona are
resistant to doing.
This means that, according to MARCA, we are left with “a situation
whereby Barcelona extending Messi’s contract and moving forward with
the Super League plans are impossible to do together.”
Multiple sources and reporters have been unable to confirm or deny the
rumor.
However, there is a report from Catalan radio which says that while it’s
true that things are more complicated than first expected, it is still not
impossible for Messi to continue at Barcelona.

Politics / Water Bill:Buhari moves to take over mineral resources of Southern Nigeria by bolaji1023(f): 12:16pm On Jul 16, 2021
Water Bill: Again,
Buhari moves to
take over lucrative
mineral resources
of Southern
Nigeria
Unlike Mr Buhari’s arid northern region,
Southern Nigeria has coastal areas and a
vast expanse of inland water bodies.
OYINDAMOLA OLUBAJO • JULY 16, 2021
President Muhammadu Buhari
resident Muhammadu Buhari
on Thursday called on the
National Assembly to quickly
pass the National Water Resources
Bill, a demand that could overheat a
simmering anger from politicians and
policy experts from Southern Nigeria
who said the bill was yet another
evidence of Buhari regime’s
determination to subjugate the
resource-rich section of the country.
The bill was rejected twice in 2018
and 2020 when Mr Buhari pushed it,
arguing that it was to ensure access
to adequate potable water amongst
all Nigerians.
But the language of the bill
contradicted the president’s claim.
The bill was designed to give control
of all water bodies in Nigeria to the
federal government, a proposal that
critics said made a mockery of raging
clamour for a restructured and
decentralised Nigeria.
Another part of the bill also pushed
for citizens to get federal permission
to drill bore holes in their homes or
businesses premises, a move that
analysts said will worsen access to
potable water as obtaining permits
from the government will be
cumbersome and riddled with
corruption.
Currently, Nigerians have legal rights
to drill a well in their private
residences in order to have access to
the essential mineral. Only a few
cities have intermittent supply of
water through their various water
boards. Mr Buhari has also been
accused of pushing the controversial
bill in order to seize the remaining
critical mineral resources under state
and local authorities in Southern
Nigeria.
Unlike Mr Buhari’s arid northern
region, Southern Nigeria has coaster
areas and a vast expanse of inland
water bodies.
About a year after the bill was
rejected again, Mr Buhari renewed
his demand on Thursday for the
passage of his proposal during the
inauguration of the Zobe Regional
Water Supply Scheme in Katsina,
urging other state governments to
build strong partnerships with the
federal government to provide
infrastructure for Nigerians.
The president maintained that his
administration would work tirelessly
to ensure that Nigerians can access
potable water supply and sanitation
facilities.
For the president, this can only be
achieved based on the “need to
mobilise funds from all sources
including the private sector.”
This, according to the president, is
“where the need for quick passage of
the National Water Resources Bill
that made provision for the National
WASH Fund, as well as regulatory
environment for private sector
involvement in the sector, become
relevant.”
He added, “I, therefore, call on the
National Assembly to give attention
to the Bill towards its passage into
law as soon as possible.”
Mr Buhari boasted that his
administration was committed to
developing the water sector since it
took over power in 2015.
In his remarks, the Minister of Water
Resources, Suleiman Adamu, noted
that 106 water projects were left
uncompleted by previous
administrations.
The bill that seeks to transfer water
resources from states to the federal
government was first forwarded to
the National Assembly in 2017.
While it was forwarded to be passed
into law, many Nigerians kicked
against it, forcing the eighth
assembly’s hand to dump the bill.
However, it was reintroduced in 2020
by Abubakar Fulata, chairman of the
House of Representatives Committee
on Rules and Business.
Among those who criticised the bill
were Nobel Laureate Wole Soyinka
and Governor Samuel Ortom, who
described the bill as “another version
of RUGA.”
Mr Ortom stated, “The bill, in
addition to its provisions, which are
at variance with the Land Use Act is
disguised land-grabbing legislation,
designed to grant pastoralists
unhindered access to river basins,
adjacent marine and coastal
environments across the country.
“The bill is another version of RUGA,
whose objective is to create grazing
areas in the 36 states of the
federation for herders and their
livestock.”
On his part, Mr Soyinka said the ‘Bill
on National Water Resources 2020’
was designed to hand Aso Rock
Absolute control over the nation’s
entire water resources, both over and
underground.
“The basic facilitator of human
existence, water – forget for now all
about streams of righteousness! – is
to become exclusive to one
centralized authority,” he added.
