CPPE demands extension of executive order to agric, energy, others

The Centre for the Promotion of Private Enterprise (CPPE) has urged the Federal Government to replicate the recent Executive Order that eliminates import duties, Value Added Tax (VAT) and excise duty on pharmaceutical raw materials to agriculture, energy, and other sectors.

The Chief Executive Officer of CPPE, Dr. Muda Yusuf, made the call in a statement on Sunday.

He said the measure would help to address supply-side challenges in the economy, particularly inflationary pressures driven by supply constraints.
