Last Wednesday in Abuja, governor of the 36 states agreed to pay more attention to the collection of taxes. That is a good move, but I only hope the governors know exactly what they are going to into. Collection of taxes is a very serious business in virtually every other country of the world except Nigeria. Until recently, when easy revenues from crude oil started to dry up due principally to falling international prices and the criminal activities in the Niger Delta, governors had paid scant attention to the collection on taxes and other alternative sources of revenue. All they have been doing is to wait for the month end for the allocation from the central government.
