Voluntary Assets and Income Declaration Scheme (VAIDS):

The Voluntary Assets and Income Declaration Scheme (VAIDS), an initiative of the Kemi Adeosun in collaboration with the State Tax Authorities, is a revolutionary programme that provides tax defaulters a nine-month opportunity to voluntarily and truthfully declare previously untaxed assets and incomes. As at May 2017, the total number of taxpayers in Nigeria was just 14 million out of an estimated 70 million who are economically active. VAIDS has however yielded over $50 million in revenue between June 29, 2017 when it was launched and October 31, 2017. Two foreign companies have also agreed to pay $110 million in regularizing their tax status.





$50 million generated. Yet the Federal Ministry of Finance have refused to pay we the CTLO'S, (Community Tax Liaison Officers), N-POWER (N-tax) applicants that did work on creating awareness and sensitisation during the VAIDS period. 7 months now no stipend received.

The Minister of Finance, Mrs. Kemi Adeosun, resigned yesterday, saying in line with the Buhari administration’s stance on integrity, it was honourable for her to resign over allegations on her NYSC exemption certificate.

Here is a brief highlights of her activities in office



Efficiency Unit:

One of her major initiatives is the Efficiency Unit (E-Unit) established in November 25, 2015 to ensure that all government expenditures are necessary and represent the best possible value for money. Prior to her assumption of office, available records showed that the nation’s recurrent expenditure completely dwarfed capital expenditure by a ratio of 84/16. This included non-wage related overhead expenditure such as travel costs, entertainment, events, printing, IT consumables, and stationeries, among others. Since its creation, the unit has been monitoring the MDAs, identifying and eliminating wasteful spending, duplication and other inefficiencies and identifying best practices in procurement and financial management. The federal government currently saves at least N15 billion annually from the services of the unit, according to the ministry.



Presidential Initiative On Continuous Audit (PICA):

Adeosun was said to be instrumental to the establishment of the Presidential Initiative on Continuous Audit (PICA), a critical initiative in the implementation of a Continuous Audit Programme. The Federal Executive Council (FEC) had on March 9, 2016, approved the establishment of PICA to ensure full accountability of all public funds expended under the Buhari administration.

Development of Whistle Blower Policy: The Whistleblowing policy, which was developed by the Federal Ministry of Finance in December 2016, empowers citizens to report public corruption. The primary goal of the policy is to support the fight against financial crimes and corruption by increasing exposure of financial crimes and rewarding whistle blowers. According to Adeosun, over 2,500 reports have been made through various reporting channels as at July 2017, with 365 being actionable tips. She disclosed that the sum of N375.8 million had been paid as reward for 20 whistleblowers in the first batch payment.

$50 million was generated. Yet the Federal Ministry of Finance have not paid we the Community Tax Liaison Officers, (N-POWER) N-tax applicants that did the work of creating awareness and sensitisation during the VAIDS period. 7 months now no stipend.

Npower/Federal Ministry of Finance refuse to pay Ntax
7months stipend after working
Ntax is a category under Npower 2017 which Minister
of Finance Kemi Adeosun and Vice president Yemi
Osinbajo created to increase tax payment across the 36
states. They promise to train 7500 out 300,000 from
2017 Npower beneficiary, and they have started the
training in Federal Treasury Academy, Orozo Abuja last
year. Up to this moment they have trained 36 batches.
Here are the problem facing by each category.
Stream 1-22 have been receiving their stipend up to
date
Stream 22-28 have never received any stipend. (7
months )
Stream 29-36 have not been deploy talk less of
payment. (Since June)
Here is what one of the Ctlo said
"It was like a dream come through when we were all
called to report for training which took us the whole
week in Abuja(orozo). After the training we were
deployed to our different state to carry out the
voluntary assignment as CTLO under the Npower arm of
special intervention programme. But it is over 7months
now we have not been given a dime as promised. Many
of us move up and down to carry out the VAIDS
exercise with our own pocket thinking that we would
be paid soon. Its over 7months now that batch 22-28
CTLOs are hoping to get paid. We have tried to reach
Npower through our state to make move for our
payment but all to know avail. We are appealing to the
appropriate authorities to please come to our rescue as
many of us are finding it difficult to feed our family. As
we quite appreciate the concept of this programme, we
would further appreciate if our stipend is immediately
paid....
