The ongoing tussle between the Lagos State Government and the Federal Government over control of the inland waterways has been a major headache for operators in the ferry and dredging businesses. These operators have been dealing with double trouble – paying taxes to both the Federal and State governments, and it’s taking a toll on their businesses. But here’s the plot twist: with the recent appointment of Gboyega Oyetola and Dele Alake as Ministers, there’s hope that this long-standing issue might finally be resolved. The operators are hopeful that the appointment of these ‘Lagos men’ will bring an end to the multiple taxation they’ve been facing. They just want to know who’s in charge so they can pay up without all the confusion and hassle. It’s a messy situation, and they’re counting on these new appointments to clean it up. Let’s hope for the best!
