A group, under the auspices of the Ekiti Tax for Service, has demanded transparency in the implementation of the N1.4 billion earmarked for the Ekiti International Cargo Airport in the 2024 budget and other provisions in the appropriation.
The Tax for Service policy group, which comprises the Nigerian Bar Association (NBA), Civil Society Organisations (CSOs), the Nigerian Union of Teachers (NUT), FIDA, artisans, hoteliers, market women, and traditional chiefs, among others, said that tax payment would not be difficult for the citizens of the state if they get value for their money.
The chairperson, Ekiti Tax for Service, Christopher Oluwadare, who is a professor, stated this on Wednesday at the unveiling of the Ekiti State Tax for Service Group Demand in 2024 budget, which was facilitated by the New Initiative for Social Development (NISD) in partnership with the Nigerian Civil Society Situationroom and UK International Development.
