Nigerian Postal Service (NIPOST) and Federal Inland Revenue Service (FIRS) going at each other on twitter.
NIPOST board chairwoman Maimuna Abubakar on Sunday accused FIRS of trying to take over the agency's stamping responsibilities.
She claimed that FIRS are now selling stamps instead of buying from NIPOST. She called on Nigerians to ensure that this injustice does not persist.
This came after FIRS announced that it now has a portal for automated stamp duty collection where all stamp duty paying citizens, government agencies, institutions and private organizations should log in and pay stamp duty.
“NIPOST are the sole custodians of national stamps, another agency printing and selling stamps is against the law of the land” Abubakar said in a tweet on Sunday. ”FIRS did not only steal our stamps but also our ideas, what NIPOST had worked for since 2016, our documents, patent and sneaked everything into finance bill and tactically removed the name of NIPOST.”STAMP DUTY ON RENT/LEASE: FIRS/STATES’ REVENUE BOARD JURISDICTION— FIRS Nigeria (@firsNigeria) July 27, 2020
FIRS is the authority to collect duty where agreement is btw corporate entities, btw entity and individual or body of individuals; while States are competent to collect where such agreement is btw individuals🙏👋
She went further to say that ”NIPOST is the only agency charged with the responsibility of producing adhesive stamps and revenue for the purchase of such stamps are accrues to NIPOST.”

When you find happiness on your own then you will be able to spread it and share it with someone else. ...
