They said this in separate interviews with the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) on Tuesday in Lagos. The former President of the Chartered Institute of Taxation of Nigeria, Dr McAntony Dike, advised the Federal Government not to heed the call of the IMF.

“This is due to the adverse impact it will have on the average Nigerian whose disposable income has been eroded,” Dike said.
