“What is Lagos without the rest of Nigeria?
The market Lagos is boasting of is
dependent on the larger part of the
country. Benin Republic has a port, Togo
has a port; do they have the population to
back up the ports? Without us providing
the demand part, what will be Lagos?

“VAT serves them and us. We provide the
bulk of the market because without the rest
of the states, what is Lagos or Port
Harcourt?
“Any state that thinks it can survive in
isolation is joking. We provide the demand
that makes Lagos what it is,” Masari told
Daily Trust.

Both Lagos and Rivers States have moved to take over the collection of Value Added Tax, VAT, from the Federal Inland Revenue Service, FIRS. The matter is currently before the Appeal and Supreme Court. Meanwhile, Southern governors have thrown their weight behind their Lagos and Rivers counterpart.
