Alpha-beta, a company linked to the presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC) and former governor of Lagos State, Bola Tinubu, handles the reconciliation of Internally Generated Revenue (IGR) in Lagos.

The governorship candidate of the African Democratic Congress (ADC) in Lagos State for the March 11 poll, Olufunso Doherty says he will unwind a tax consulting company in the state, Alpha Beta Consulting.

 

Alpha-beta, a company linked to the presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC) and former governor of Lagos State, Bola Tinubu, handles the reconciliation of Internally Generated Revenue (IGR) in Lagos.

 

Speaking at The Platform debate held on Sunday, in Lagos, Southwest Nigeria, Doherty vowed to review all projects and tax collections in the state.

 

ADC candidate said, “We will declare a state of emergency on the roads, flash points, rapid intervention mechanisms. We will ban the collection of tax levies on the highways.

 

“We will review the taxes and levies that are collected in general. We will launch a review of the Fourth Mainland Bridge; we will stop it and review that project."

 

He added, “We will publish information on the Blue Line – how much have they spent? We will put in the public domain. We will unwind Alpha Beta. We will begin a public sector compensation survey, raise their compensation.”

 

He said his administration would review the compensation of doctors, nurses, and other health workers in the state if elected.

 

According to him, doing so will reduce the brain drain in the system.

 

Channels TV reports that Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu of the All Progressives Congress (APC) pulled out of the debate.

 

Gbadebo Rhodes-Vivour of the Labour Party (LP) and Olajide Adediran of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) also shared their ideas to move Lagos forward.
