The Lagos State Governor, Babajide Sanwo-Olu, has signed into law a bill empowering the state government to collect Value Added Tax (VAT) within the state.

This is coming barely a day after the Lagos State House of Assembly passed the VAT and open grazing prohibition bills despite the appeal of the Federal High Court Judgment by the Federal Inland Revenue Service (FIRS).

This also makes Lagos the second state to sign the VAT collection bill into law, after Rivers State, who initiated the first legal process.
