TAX:PAEDIA EXPRESS IS A DEBTOR NOT AN EVADER

TAX:PAEDIA EXPRESS IS A DEBTOR NOT AN EVADER

Our attention has being drawn to a news report in The Punch Newspapers of Nigeria of 30th march,2018 on the issue of the tax amnesty  under The Voluntary Assets and Income Declaration Scheme [VAIDS]of the Nigerian government .

For the avoidance of any doubt ,Economic News Media Enterprises [E.N.M.],the trading names of brand E.N.M.Paedia Express Multimedia Group is a registered entity under the corporate affairs commissions statutes  of The Federal Republic of Nigeria.

For the avoidance of any doubt,we have not paid one naira to the state coffers in 9 years of doing business hence our status as a debtor is not in doubt  at all as we did own u publicly in a previous and widely circulated correspondence on this same subject.

As a corporate entity ,we have held useful discussions with our team of lawyers regarding this particular issue as we believe we have a water tight alibi since we have clients who are indebted to us and have not paid up as well.

While we plead for understanding on the matter ,we have asked our lawyers to do letters of reminders to those individuals and corporate firms involved in this very sad development.

Founder of the group:Mr Abdulmumini ireyi Adeku ,has personally  visited the tax office along the College Road in Ifako Ijaiye,Lagos,Nigeria and has held numerous and very useful discussions with 2 of the agency's personnel as regards the delays ,this can be verified for clarity under legal suasion..

We think it is very irresponsible as an entity if we make any form of bureaucratic declaration under the Voluntary Assets and Income Declaration Scheme[VAIDS] while still holding out on the real payments as expected by the Central governments as we think it better for the two to together.

We will start to pay up as soon as payments are made  into our coffers ,we will also be willing to respond to any forms of enquiry on this officially.
