Nigeria to Integrate Digital Tax for Online Transactions

The Presidential Task Force disclosed that the resumption of business centres, religious houses, and reopening of schools have contributed to the recent spike in COVID-19 cases in Nigeria. 

Although the number of cases has indeed spiked, there is no corroborating evidence to prove the said activities are responsible for the astronomical numbers. 

Ever so recently, Ace Comedian, Alibaba criticized the government over the compulsory National Identification Number procedure which saw the citizens throw all caution to the wind to obtain the numbers. 

The staff of the NIN centres also embarked on a strike citing no regard for their health. 

As a result of the recent development, the PTF Chairman has disclosed that the government is reviewing resumption dates of schools and possibly considering a fresh lockdown should the numbers continue the upward tick.
