States banning alcohol shouldn’t get VAT on beer – Ex-minister, Adewole

Former Health Minister, Prof. Isaac Adewole, is urging the adoption of fiscal federalism, proposing that states should be allocated funds corresponding to their contributions to the federation account.

The former Vice Chancellor of the University of Ibadan made this known during an appearance on Channels Television’s “Inside Sources with Laolu Akande” programme on Friday. His words: “I am an apostle of fiscal and physical federalism. We need to look at how we share the resources of this country. If you have a law that prevents you from selling alcohol, that law should also prevent you from sharing money from alcohol. We should be honest with ourselves. States that prohibit the sale of alcohol should not share out of VAT from alcohol. Straight forward.
