South-West zone of the National Association of Nigerian Students, NANS, has condemned the Federal Government’s plan to introduce N10 per liter tax on carbonated drinks.
The South-West Coordinator of NANS Olatunji Adegboye, described the planned duty as a deliberate attempt by the Federal Government to pile more miseries on hapless citizens.
Adegboye argued that the introduction of additional duty on the already taxed products showed the government was bereft of ideas to drive its internally generated revenue.
+Recall that the Minister of Finance, Budget and National Planning, Zainab Ahmed, noted that the plan was a move to discourage excessive consumption of sugar which she said contributed to a number of health conditions.
