The president of the
Nigeria Internet Registration Association (NIRA), Rev. Sunday Folayan has described
the proposed Communication Service Tax (CST) by the Federal Government (FG) as
an industry-killer scheme, reports ITRealms.
Folayan made this known
in his Facebook wall post on Monday, saying there are several options the
Federal Government can alleviate the suffering of Nigeria as the recession
heightens.
According to him, the advanced
plans by the Federal Government to introduce the Communication Service Tax
(CST) among other current policies of this administration are industry-killing
schemes.
A position corroborated by
the chairman of Signal Alliance, Mr. Collins Onuegbu as both agreed that with
the cost of living so high and foreign exchange so scarce, the government could
demonstrate immediate faith in fixing the economy starting with scrapping of
visa fees for visitors.
They also canvassed that
FG should ensure that businesses could be registered in one working day, just
as goods could be cleared at the nation’s ports in three working days.
In addition, they said
that export permits should be issued within 12 hours if indeed the government is
serious in changing the conditions of the people.
For Mr. Folayan, these
ideas are low-hanging fruits instead of the Communications Services Tax and
other nation and industry-killing schemes.
