BREAKING: Open-Grazing Ban, VAT Bills Scale Second Reading At Lagos Assembly by iwaeda: 5:32pm On Sep 06, 2021 |
The Lagos State House of Assembly on Monday committed the bill on open grazing ban to the Committee on Agriculture after it scaled second reading. The legislators also read for the first and second time, the Lagos Value Added Tax (VAT) bill and asked the Committee on Finance to give a report on Thursday. Speaker Mudashiru Obasa described the ‘Prohibition of Open Cattle Grazing Bill’ as one that would ensure a harmonious relationship between herders and farmers, and protect the South-West environment. Obasa suggested that the proposal should make provision for the registration of herders and prepare them for ranching. On the VAT bill, the Speaker said it would lead to an increase in revenue and infrastructure development in line with fiscal federalism. He urged the Lagos government to do everything legally possible to ensure that the judgement of a Federal High Court in Port Harcourt is sustained up to the Supreme Court. Obasa lamented that while the state generates about N500 billion annually and others in the South-West generate around N300 billion, they are all paltry amounts to the federal government. Bisi Yusuff, representing Alimosho 1 lamented the havoc herdsmen have caused in the region. He said farmers are now afraid to visit their farms, with many now indebted because it is difficult to pay back loans. Yusuff condemned cattle roaming, the fear and accidents they cause, and advocated stiffer penalties for herders carrying firearms. Kehinde Joseph (Alimosho 2) called open grazing in the 21st century an aberration. Joseph said the bill would ensure peaceful coexistence, reduce crime and help to guide the activities of herders. Olumoh Lukman (Ajeromi-Ifelodun 1) suggested that the High Court or a Special Court handle cases from the enforcement of the bill when passed and signed. Gbolahan Yishawu (Eti Osa 2) decried how cows move about in a city like Lagos and confirmed the state has 250 hectares of land in Ikorodu and another 750 hectares on Epe for ranching. Tobun Abiodun (Epe 1) said it was common to see cattle going to school as if they want to learn. David Setonji (Badagry 2) recalled a time the lawmakers went to a school on an official visit, “We were embarrassed by cattle. We had to wait for the herder to move the cattle before we embarked on our oversight function”, Setonji added. https://dailypost.ng/2021/09/06/open-grazing-ban-vat-bills-scale-second-reading-at-lagos-assembly/? |

Lagos generates 55% of Total VAT for the country, so let them keep atleast 45% and remit 10% to national. 2 Likes 1 Share |

Nice one Lasgidi. VAT is now starting to be like agbado inu igo, o ti di awomoju fun awon presidency. Open grazing ban must be enforced. Passing those laws alone without action will just continue to embolden Miyetti Allah to continue to parrot nonsense in the media. Seize their cows, arrest herdsmen that herd their cows on the roads, farms, schools, etc and make sure they pay damages on farmlands & other properties to the last penny. God continue to bless Akeredolu, other Southern Governors should follow his footsteps in enforcing this. 3 Likes 1 Share |

Okay! I urge other states to follow suit because if states are in total control of their VAT collection, the Northern Governors who are using their monthly Federal allocations to build mosques & sponsor Terrorism will seat up. You can't be destroying bottles of Beer in your state as Haram & be benefitting from Taxes gotten from Nigerian Breweries Ltd. The Northern states have very little or nothing to contribute to Nigeria's development. RUBBISH! ![]() 2 Likes |

We are getting there, I trust Akeredolu to follow suit as he encouraged other southern govonors. Even if not all will comply as there's always a Judas in every 12, at least the complainance rate will be majority. Once there's a law, implementation will have a backup |
