STATE HOUSE PRESS RELEASE

STAMP DUTY: FACTS NIGERIANS NEED TO HAVE

President Muhammadu Buhari came into office in 2015 to find that a law, which stipulated for the collection of a token on banking transactions existed but was not being correctly implemented

This anomaly arose because certain characters apparently formed a cartel with collaborators in the Nigerian Postal Service, NIPOST and were allegedly collecting and pocketing this money.

Soon after, a non-government organization posited to the administration that the Nigerian government had lost the sum of over N20 trillion to the Nigerian Inter-bank Settlement System ((NIBSS) between 2013-2016 in this regard, claiming that the said sum could be recovered and paid back into the government coffers.

The consultants asked to be paid a professional fee of 7.5 percent and were placed under the supervision of the Secretary to the Government of the Federation, SGF.

Following the lack of progress in the promised recovery, the late Chief of Staff to the President, Abba Kyari wrote on March 8, 2018 to the SGF conveying a presidential directive that following the lack of progress and several expressed concerns received, the activities of the consultants be discontinued.

In the aftermath of this dismissal, the consultants sued the government.

A court of competent jurisdiction subsequently ruled in favour of the government.

Arising from the outcome of the litigation and the well known controversy on the legally responsible agent for collecting this levy, the administration went to the National Assembly and caused an amendment to the law and removed NIPOST from the duty of its collection.

Having lost a potentially “lucrative” line of “business,” the sacked characters returned to the drawing board to formulate one form of trick or another to intimidate the government but the vigilant teams of the administration kept them at bay.

Lately, they returned to the government through Hon. Muhammadu Gudaji Kazaure

It is another season of celebrations as Adamawa State joins the League of States that have domesticated the Child Rights Act (2003) bringing the total of States that have domesticated the Law to 33.

While commending the Executive Governor of Adamawa State H.E Ahmadu Fintiri and the State Assembly on this giant stride, we urge him to go a step further to put in place mechanisms for its proper implementation, including adequate funding.

Let me therefore use this opportunity to again thank all our partners who have continued to support our advocacy to ensure a Nigeria fit for all.
