Over the weekend (Saturday, February 8, 2025), the Oyo State Government made a press release to celebrate its 2024 VAT collection figure. In the release e-signed by the State’s Commissioner for Information and Orientation, the state government gleefully celebrated its triumph as the third highest contributor to VAT pool among the 36 States of the federation and the FCT. This feat, according to the commissioner, was as a result of the “right stimulus” deployed to trigger the economic potential of the state.
