The stalled amicable resolution of the lingering tax dispute between Nigeria Liquefied and Natural Gas, NLNG, Limited and Nigerian Maritime Administration and Safety Agency, NIMASA, yesterday, forced lawyers in the matter to argue their respective applications before a Federal High Court sitting in Lagos.
.
The court, will meantime, today, deliver judgment in all the applications.
.
It will be recalled that NLNG had dragged the Attorney-General of the Federation and a private firm, Global West Vessels Specialists, to court over the alleged blockade of its vessels.
.
NIMASA was alleged to have carried out the action because of the refusal of NLNG to pay some statutory charges/taxes to the Federal Government.
.
It was also gathered that even though the matter had been settled through mediation, wherein NLNG was asked to pay the agreed outstanding taxes, it turned around to sue the Attorney-General of the Federation and Global West Vessels, a NIMASA agent, without joining NIMASA in the suit.
The drama hasn't even started yet in my opinion...I believe there are still more drama to come...Let's just wait and see.
