A member of the Lagos State House of Assembly, Setonji David, has vowed that the State would go ahead with the implementation of its recently assented Value Added Tax (VAT) law despite a stay of execution by the Appeal Court in Abuja.
The lawmaker, who represents Badagry II Constituency in the House, stated this Monday, when he appeared as a guest on Channels Television’s ‘Sunrise Daily’ breakfast programme, tagged: “VAT collection dispute,” adding that the enactment of the VAT law followed due process.
He argued that Lagos State has always clamoured for true federalism and would continue the implementation of the VAT law pending any order by the Appeal Court ruling otherwise.
