Olokooba made the call in Ilorin on Friday while delivering the 249th Inaugural Lecture of Unilorin, entitled: “Withhold Caesar’s Right and then Cry the Beloved Country”.
He submitted that since tax evasion is the major clog to the workability of the Nigerian tax system, it is imperative for the Nigerian government at this critical period to aggressively address the issue of tax criminality.
According to him, this should be with the same vigour the government fought against the issue of non-performing/bad debt in the financial sectors in 2011.
