Abstract

Concerning the need to curb corrupt income tax practices and to increase internally generated revenue via income tax in Edo State, the Edo State Government 2019 introduced an automated personal income taxing system. However, it must be noted that the income tax procedure in Nigeria is a function of law regulated by the Personal Income Tax Act. Concerning this, there is a legal uncertainty concerning the effectiveness of extant the current legal framework in providing for and regulating an automated personal income tax system in Edo State. It is in this regard, that this study tends to adopt a hybrid method of research in examining to what extent the extant law provides for and regulates income tax in Edo State. The questionnaire was sent to 321 respondents and the data generated therein were analyzed via a descriptive and analytical method. The study found that the Personal Income Tax Act of 2004 does not provide for and regulate an automated income taxing system in Edo State. It was therefore concluded and recommended that for effective compliance with an automated income tax administration in Edo State, there is a need to amend the extant law to provide for an automated income tax procedure.

Abstract

Water is a vital resource essential for the survival of humans, animals, and ecosystems. Its inclusion in the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) underscores its importance. Effective management and regulation of water resources are critical for achieving development across key sectors. However, freshwater scarcity is an increasing concern, particularly with the high water consumption involved in bitumen mining and production. This study employs a hybrid research method to assess water resource regulation in Nigeria and Uganda. A total of 226 questionnaires were distributed to respondents in Nigeria, and the data was analyzed using descriptive and analytical techniques. The findings reveal a lack of a robust legal framework regulating water usage in bitumen mining in Nigeria, in contrast to Uganda, where more comprehensive water regulations exist. The study further concludes that unregulated water withdrawals for bitumen production in Nigeria threaten the achievement of SDG 6.4, which focuses on sustainable water use. To prevent ecological disasters and ensure the sustainability of freshwater ecosystems in Nigeria's bitumen belt, the study recommends strengthening existing legal and institutional frameworks to guarantee instream flow and sustainable water use in mining activities, drawing from the experiences of countries like Uganda.Keywords: Bitumen, Freshwater, Instream Flow, Mining, Sustainable Development Goals, Water Management
