In a statement, CITN Acting Registrar/Chief Executive, Afolake Oso, lauded the Federal Government led by President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, through the Attorney-General and Minister for Justice, Lateef Fagbemi, for the bold step taken towards instituting the court action.
“The ruling of the Apex Court which is a positive development must be commended because it holds a lot of promise for improved governance and development at the grassroots level. According to her, more than ever before, more accountability, prudence and transparency is required from the players at the local level, toward ensuring judicious use of resources for prompt payment of salaries of workers, provision of health and social services, educational facilities, infrastructural development amongst others.
Oso said this practice, although aimed at augmenting poor revenues, leaves the system very inactive. “The Institute, therefore, urges Chairmen of local governments to commit themselves to ensuring civil approaches in the collection of taxes and levies due to the local government within the confines of the laws of the land and to allow the proper functioning of the Local Government Revenue Committee, she said.
