Acting President, Yemi Osinbajo, has on Thursday signed an Executive Order to Back the Voluntary Asset and Income Declaration Scheme.


The Acting President said the new initiative is targeted at increasing tax awareness and compliance, as well as grant tax payers a time-limited opportunity to regularise their tax status without penalty.

The signing of the Executive Order was done during the formal launch of the VAIDS scheme at the Banquet Hall of the State  House.

It was witnessed by the Minister of Finance, Mrs Kemi Adeosun, Governors of Ogun, Kaduna, and Zamfara among others.
