The Kano State Internal Revenue Service on Monday sealed three companies including the Head office of Max Air Limited over the non-payment of tax liabilities for five years, from 2012 to 2017.

Similarly, the agency has also shut down the Head office of Dantata and Sawoe Construction Company located along the Kano-Zaria Road for refusing to pay N241.2 million as Pay-As-You-Earn and withholding taxes from 2021 to 2022.

The agency also sealed the Northern Rice and Oil Milling Nigeria Limited at Gunduwawa Industrial Estate, off Hadejia Road.

Speaking to newsmen shortly after the exercise, the Director, Debt Management and Enforcement of the agency, Ibrahim Abdullahi, said the companies were closed following a court order obtained by the agency.

“We went out to enforce the payment of tax liabilities to make sure all liability taxes are paid as at when due as we have a classification of taxes because our enforcement team found out there are discrepancies in the payment of the taxes,” he said.

According to him, the decision to seal the head office of Max Air Limited, Dantata and Sawoe Construction Company and other companies followed their failure or refusal to offset the tax liabilities.

“So, the agency found it necessary to take the measure to compel them to pay such taxes after several correspondences without positive responses from them,” he added.

Abdullahi noted that the measure was also necessary to ensure that all revenue accruable to the state was collected to improve the state’s revenue base, adding that the agency would continue to carry out similar exercises to ensure all tax defaulters are reminded of their responsibilities.

The director maintained that all the companies sealed would remain closed until when their outstanding debts were paid.

Join the Movement to Build a Culture of Proper Waste Segregation and Disposal in Lagos. 

 

As part of its efforts to promote a cleaner, greener, and healthier environment, The Architects Place Ltd In conjunction with the Ministry of Environment and Water Resources has launched an initiative to provide proper waste disposal bins across the state.

 

The initiative, which is aimed at building a culture of proper waste segregation and disposal, is designed to encourage residents, businesses, and institutions to properly dispose their waste and recyclables.

The proper waste disposal bins, which are designed to accommodate different types of waste, including recyclables, organics, and non-recyclable waste, will be strategically located in public spaces, markets, and other high-traffic areas.

 

This will help to reduce the amount of waste that ends up in landfills and waterways, improving environmental health and reducing the risk of disease. By providing separate bins for recyclables, the initiative will encourage residents and businesses to recycle more, reducing waste and conserving natural resources.

 

We urge all residents, businesses, and institutions in Lagos to join us in this effort to build a culture of proper waste segregation and disposal. Together, we can make a difference and create a cleaner, greener, and healthier environment for all.

 

For more information on the proper waste disposal bin initiative, please contact:

A High Court of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) in Maitama has rejected the bail request by former Kogi State Governor, Yahaya Bello.

 

Bello is standing trial, along with two others, on an alleged N110bn money laundering charge brought against him by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC).

 

Justice Maryanne Anenih, in a ruling on Tuesday, faulted the competence of Bello’s bail application, stating that it was filed prematurely.

 

Justice Anenih held that, since the application was made when Bello was neither in custody nor before the court, it was deemed incompetent.

 

She said: “Consequently, the instant application, having been filed prematurely, is hereby refused.”
