IFEDI. AK. NIGERIA LIMITED Sets the Record Straight on Allegations of Tax Evasion, and went on to debunk any of such fake news as to sealing it's office, stating that it wasn't true.




The Ruling of the District Court sitting in Abuja clears the air over the wide spread online rumors concerning IFEDI. AK. Nigeria Limited and the purported sealing of it's office. The ruling of the said court stated that the defendant is in total compliance as par the claim, in the said order dated 16th of may, 2024.

According to the information reaching our media publicity desk, by the spokesperson of the company, Mr Nnaemeka Oguaju Esq, who started that last week, an online publication alleged that the head office of IFEDI. AK. NIGERIA LIMITED, located at No. 6 Rudolf Close, Maitama Abuja, was sealed by the court due to the company's failure to pay its company income tax to the Federal Inland Revenue Service (Fct-IRS). The company wish to use this medium to clarify the situation and refute these baseless allegations by putting the record straight.

Below is the statement of Mr Nnaemeka Oguaju Esq. Spokesperson of IFEDI A.K. NIGERIA LIMITED.
To be clear, while it is true that an order was issued by the court to seal the company's head office, the said order of the court has since been overturned on the 16th of May, 2024. 
The company therefore wish to further emphasize that prior to the court order, IFEDI. AK. NIGERIA LIMITED had already cleared all its outstanding tax liabilities.
It is regrettable to note that the officer responsible for briefing the Fct- IRS legal team failed to inform them of the company's compliance with its tax obligations. 
However, we are pleased to inform the public that following our prompt action and proof of tax payment, the court swiftly retracted its earlier order. The court acknowledged that IFEDI. AK. NIGERIA LIMITED had indeed fulfilled its tax obligations as required by law.
The said court Order 


It is essential to stress that throughout this process, our company has consistently demonstrated a strong commitment to operating within the boundaries of the law. We have always placed the payment of our taxes as a top priority to contribute our fair share to national development and the well-being of our society.

In light of recent events, IFEDI. AK. NIGERIA LIMITED calls for a more streamlined system between law enforcement agencies, such as the court, ,FIRS and other compliance agencies, to ensure that accurate and up-to-date information is effectively communicated.

THE UMUAHIA/IKWUANO/IKOT EKPENE ROAD: A SHAMELESS ATTEMPT TO REWRITE A KNOWN STORY

I read with a mixture of amusement and sadness the statement credited to one Mr. Chidi Uwaeziozi, who claims to be the Controller of Works for Abia State in the Federal Ministry of Works. In that statement, he asserted that the Umuahia/Ikwuano/Ikot Ekpene Road continues to be executed and funded by the Federal Government, apparently in response to recent remarks from the administration of His Excellency, Governor Alex Otti, which identified the project as a State-led intervention. Ordinarily, such a claim would not deserve a response, especially as the Abia State Government has already addressed and refuted the misleading assertions contained in that statement. However, it is important that the people of Abia State, and indeed Nigerians, understand the true situation surrounding this vital road project. Infrastructure remains the backbone of economic development. Roads in particular connect communities, facilitate trade, and reduce the burden of daily life for ordinary citi...

Electronic Transmission brouhaha: Dr Monday Ubani SAN Traces the Mischief, Charts a Path to Credible Elections

Dr. Monday Onyekachi Ubani, SAN, on Saturday appeared on The Morning Show on Arise TV to examine the ongoing amendment of Nigeria’s Electoral Bill especially on the issue of electronic transmission by the National Assembly, offering a historical perspective on the reform and the mischief the proposed changes seek to cure. Responding to questions on his assessment of the new bill as passed by House of Representatives and the Senate on the issue, Dr. Ubani recalled that the Supreme Court of Nigeria, in the last round of election litigation, held that the Electoral Act, 2022 made no provision for electronic transmission of results and did not mention the INEC Result Viewing portal (IReV). That omission, he noted, constrained the courts and made it impossible to invalidate the presidential election on the grounds canvassed. The decision, according to him, exposed clear gaps in the law and provided compelling justification for a comprehensive amendment. He explained that the Hou...
