Ondo Faces Backlash Over New Tax
A proposed tax policy in Ondo State targeting social ceremonies such as weddings, burials and naming ceremonies has triggered strong reactions among residents and stakeholders.
The new levy is expected to apply to several private celebrations across the state, with officials saying the move is part of efforts to boost internally generated revenue.
However, the proposal has drawn criticism from members of the public who argue that imposing taxes on family events could place additional financial pressure on citizens already struggling with rising living costs.
The development has sparked debate across the state, with many calling on authorities to review the policy and consider its potential impact on ordinary families.
