Most states depend on allocation from federation account. States have been turned to beggars. Hardly will any day pass that you won\u2019t see one state or the other going to Abuja to beg for one fund or the other.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIn this (Rivers) state, we awarded contract to companies and within the last month we paid over N30billion to the contractors and 7.5% will now be deducted from that and to be given to FIRS.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cNow, look at 7.5% of N30billion of contracts we awarded to companies in Rivers State, you will be talking about almost N3billion only from that source. Now, at the end of the month, Rivers State government has never received more than N2billion from VAT. So, I have contributed more through the award of contract and you are giving me less. What\u2019s the justification for it.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Wike lamented plans by the FIRS to introduce road tax which would take away more duties from the states and further emasculating them financially.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhich are the roads? Are they the roads the state government is paying for or the roads federal government has constructed? So, at the end of the day, they have taken over the functions of the State government and the State is left with nothing.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Governor of Rivers state, Nyesom Wike has signed into law bill on value-added tax (VAT) collection in the state.
