NIGERIAN youths have been hinted that they will form a large chunk of the 45 million tax payers by December 2019, a target set by the Federal Inland Revenue Services (FIRS).

Tax expert,  Agu David highlighted the importance of tax paying to select youths at the Poetry Meets Tax event in Lagos.

His claim was corroborated by President Muhammadu Buhari who informed a joint session of lawmakers on Tuesday during the presentation of the 2020 appropriation bill, that the budget will be funded partly through value added tax.

Agu reiterated the need for Nigerian youths to understand what the concept of tax is all about and despite it being statutory, plays a significant role in the socio-economic development of the country.
