NAPS Leadership Caution Presidential Committee on Fiscal Policy and Tax Reforms.

Solidarity Greetings From National Association of Polytechnic Students ( NAPS) Southwest Zone, Comrade Oyewumi Festus the NAPS PRO Southwest Zone frown on the hardship in the Country and lack of good ideas by President Committee on Fiscal Policy and Tax Reforms.

 

NAPS Leadership Caution Presidential Committee on Fiscal Policy and Tax Reforms.

It’s in the news on the Proposed Move by the Presidential Committee on Fiscal Policy and Tax Reforms to increase Vat to 10%, this move is lack of sensitivity from the hardship that is currently destroying the land and the Citizens, we are made to understand that Tax Reforms Committee was set up by the President to undertaken the improvement and Efficiency of Tax administration and to Maximize the Economic and Social benefits that can be achieved through the tax System,
the key objectives of the Committee’s work include:

Harmonization of multiple taxes and levies at all levels of government to a few that are broad based and easy to administer

Unification of revenue collection functions into single agency per level of government as much as possible

Modernisation and simplification of the tax system including the use of technology for revenue administration

Leveraging on data for intelligence to curb evasion and aggressive tax avoidance

Remove tax provisions which serve as impediments to business and economic growth

Devise structures and
framework to institutionalise reforms for effective policy coordination and collaboration among government agencies and tiers of government
Improve efficiency of revenue collection and transparent reporting

Ensure effective utilisation of tax and other revenues for social good to boost citizens’ tax morale, promote tax culture and drive voluntary compliance

Transform revenue generation for sustainable development to achieve at least 18% Tax to GDP ratio within the next 3 years, that is, by 2026, instead of going in this direction to bring succor to the Citizens of the Country and bring Comfort to the People by proper Administration of Tax, the Tax Reforms has decided to be insensitive to the hardship in the Land.

The Purported Increament of the Vat to 10% shouldn’t be consider for any reason, we are calling on President Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu to dissolve this Committee and Re appoint another Set of Experts if they lack ideas on the Mandate given to them by the President.

We are of Opinion that if the Tax Reforms Committee go ahead to increase the Vat,NAPS Leadership will not hesitate to lockdown the whole Taxation System ranging from Headquarters of Federal Inland Revenue Services,(FIRS) and other bodies.

The NNPC has gone Mad again by increasing the Fuel Price to 850 and Tax Reforms Committee is also trying to inflicting pains on Nigeria Citizens, we say no to all this Policies and Increament…

President Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu, should do something now on the issue of NNPC and Tax Reforms Committee before Nigerian Polytechnic Students will match to the street in Millions across the Country.

Enough of this Punishment from the Federal Government, we say no to wickedness.

Until Nigerians are Comfortable…Aluta Continua.

~By Oluwaseun Fabiyi

Mr. Olalekan Bakare-Oki, the Acting Managing Director of LASTMA, a man renowned for his humility and impeccable reputation, extends his warmest felicitations to Muslim faithful in Lagos on the occasion of this year’s Eid-el-Kabir celebration.

Eid el Kabir: Olalekan Bakare-Oki, LASTMA MD, Extends Felicitations to Lagos Muslim Faithful

In his inspiring address, the Managing Director of LASTMA urged Muslim devotees to seize this occasion for solemn introspection and to embody the spirit of sacrifice exemplified by Prophet Mohammed, thereby fostering peace, unity and national advancement

Mr. Bakare Oki stressed that peaceful coexistence, cooperation, and sustained prayers among citizens are essential for addressing the current economic realities, insecurity, and challenges facing the country.

Oki observed that, as Muslims celebrate Eid-el-kabir with friends, neighbors, and families within Lagos metropolis and its environs, they must not forget that the Lagos State Traffic Management Authority will deploy officials across roads to caution commercial drivers and private car owners who may intentionally violate Lagos State Traffic laws, and also advise car owners who speed at 120km within streets to exercise restraint in their celebration enthusiasm, which is common during this season, without harming themselves

In a conversation with BethNews Publisher, Oluwaseun Fabiyi, he encouraged everyone to take this opportunity to pray for the leadership of Lagos State, the governor, and the nation as a whole, seeking God’s guidance and direction.

Mr. Oki extended special congratulations to all genuine Lagosian Muslim celebrants on the occasion of another celebration.

*In reference to Oki, LASTMA MD:*

Olalekan Bakare-Oki: An epitome of excellence and a trailblazer in the solution to Lagos State Traffic Management Authority (LASTMA)

He possesses extensive experience, a proven track record, and a vision for transformative development, which he has utilized to lead LASTMA effectively since becoming the MD/CEO to date.

Bakare-Oki’s exceptional leadership style emphasizes talent development and team collaboration, as demonstrated by his success in fostering high-performing teams with a culture of continuous learning and collaboration during his tenure at the Lagos State Ministry of Transport.LASTMA’s emphasis on human capital is essential, as it enables the agency to effectively address the challenges of chaotic traffic through a robust traffic management system that aligns with the dynamic growth and expansion of Lagos’s economy

Besides his professional expertise, Bakare-Oki is respected for his discipline, civic engagement and commitment to corporate responsibility. This commitment to corporate governance issues not only fosters trust but also aligns with LASTMA’s mission to uphold the highest standards of responsibility.

Mr. Olalekan Bakare-Oki, Acting General Manager of the Lagos State Traffic Management Authority (LASTMA), is dedicated to enhancing the agency’s profile and efficiency. This mission is driven by a desire to foster greater collaboration between the traffic management agency and the motoring public, thereby enhancing socioeconomic prosperity in the state. His formula for success, however, is rooted not only in this ambitious goal but also in his pioneering approach to traffic management in the state

By considering the perspectives and concerns of road users, the agency aims to enhance its service delivery while addressing the broader public issue of discipline within LASTMA’s ranks and finding ways to reconcile these concerns. As a result, he raises public awareness about the various channels through which complaints can be submitted to LASTMA for prompt action.

With his adeptness in devising traffic solutions and enforcing discipline, the LASTMA General Manager has vindicated Governor Sanwo-Olu’s confidence in his appointment by rising to the challenge while leveraging his extensive experience to propel the Agency to unprecedented heights.

On November 23, 2023, Lagos State Governor, Mr. Babajide Sanwo-Olu, granted approval for the appointment of Mr. Olalekan Bakare-Oki as acting General Manager at LASTMA, the Lagos State Traffic Management Authority.

A food podcast network is also in the works, exploring traditional African cuisines, local chefs, and food culture from the streets up. And coming soon: Inside Life—a docuseries uncovering the real struggles and stories of people surviving at the margins.

 

At the helm of it all is Tayo Laditi, the media entrepreneur and filmmaker who founded Nakito Entertainment after studying at the New York Film Academy. In addition to leading Nakito, Tayo also runs TMO Solutions LLC, a company specializing in smart security systems and tech infrastructure.

 

“We’re creating content that reflects our truth,” says Laditi. “It’s raw, funny, spiritual—and deeply African. That’s what Nakito stands for.”
