The Director-General, Nigeria Governors’ Forum, Mr Asishana Okauru, says worsening insecurity and currency depreciation have been adversely affecting the business environment and taxable income in Nigeria.

He added that the perceived weak social contract between citizens and the government continues to threaten the legitimacy of taxation. He added that the adverse fiscal pressure had been primarily due to over-dependence on Federation Accounts Allocation Committee transfers which are constantly threatened by the increasing volatility in oil prices and mounting subsidy payments.

He said, “Worsening insecurity and currency depreciation is affecting the business environment and consequently, productivity and income to be taxed.”
