- Governor Abdullahi Sule initially opposed the federal tax reform bills because the original VAT model would heavily favor states where companies are based, especially Lagos, and could worsen inflation for consumers.
- He later softened his position after the VAT formula was revised to split revenue between the place of generation and the place of consumption.
- The revised model reduced regional concerns over fairness in VAT distribution.
- Nasarawa’s main fiscal challenge remains growing its internally generated revenue and formalizing its economy without raising household costs or hurting private-sector growth.
