Nigeria Governor’s Forum awaits court verdict on VAT

The Nigerian Governors Forum, NGF, says it awaits the judgment of the Supreme Court before taking any decision on Valued Added Tax, VAT.

Chairman of the forum, Kayode Fayemi, said the forum believed that the controversy over VAT required both political and legal measures to be settled.

Fayemi urged the Supreme Court to accelerate its decision in giving clarity over who should be in charge of VAT.

The Chairman called for a comprehensive approach that would complement the National Security Response Strategy in tackling the lingering security challenges facing the nation.
