The Nigerian Bar Association (NBA) Oji River Branch has secured some concessions regarding the controversial tax clearance requirements for lawyers filing court processes in Enugu State.
Branch Chairman Sir Kingsley Chukwudi Olemeforo held advocacy meetings with the President of the Customary Court of Appeal and the Chief Judge of Enugu State this week. The Customary Court President confirmed the tax clearance directives will not apply in his court.
The Chief Judge appealed for one week to escalate the NBA branch’s formal letter of objection to the Enugu State Governor. Olemeforo agreed, provided there are no moves to start implementing the policy during that time.
