President Bola Tinubu has signed four different Executive Orders which include the suspension of the five per cent Excise Tax on telecommunication services as well as the Excise Duties escalation on locally manufactured products; Suspension of the newly introduced Green tax and the suspension of Import tax adjustment levy on some vehicles.

The other executive order is the deferment of the 2023 Finance Act signed by the former president, Muhammed Buhari, which is now slated to commence September 1, 2023 as against initial due date of May 23, 2023. Also deferred is the Customs, Excise Tariff Order to commence on August 1, 2023 as against initial due date of March 27, 2023.

This was made known by the Special Adviser to the President on Special Duties, Communications and Strategy, Dele Alake, while briefing journalists at the State House in Abuja on Thursday.

Mr Alake noted that the effective date variation in the finance act as well as the customs, excise tariff act is to ensure adherence to the 90 days’ minimum advance notice for tax changes as contained in the 2017 National Tax Policy.

According to the President’s Spokesman, the President has issued these orders to cushion the negative impacts of the tax adjustments on businesses and households across affected sectors. He gave the following remarks:

“The President has assured Nigerians that there will not be further tax raise without robust and wide consultations undertaken within the context of a coherent fiscal policy framework.

“Further to his commitment to creating a business-friendly environment, the President has ordered the suspension of the newly introduced Green Tax by way of Excise Tax on Single Use Plastics, including plastic containers and bottles.

“His Excellency will not exacerbate the plight of Nigerians.”

Alake reiterated the President’s commitment to reviewing complaints about multiple taxation, local and anti-business inhibitions. He also noted that the Tinubu-led administration will continue to promote an enabling environment through friendly policies that would allow businesses to flourish in the country.

Mark Zuckerberg’s Meta has on Wednesday, officially launched the much-anticipated Twitter-like app called Threads, setting up a rivalry with Twitter by offering a space for real-time conversations online.

Threads function, which is notably Twitter’s key selling point, now creates an alternative for Twitter users who are disgruntled by the changes brought by Elon Musk.

Zuckerberg who owns a social media conglomerate that includes Facebook and Instagram decided to release the app 15 hours earlier than planned, launching it at 7 pm EDT in the US and midnight in the UK. It is now accessible in 100 countries through the Apple and Google app stores. However, due to regulatory concerns, the app will not be available in the EU.

The app bears numerous similarities to Twitter, including its layout and product description. The listing, initially teased earlier this week, highlights its ability to attract a following and facilitate connections with like-minded individuals.

“The vision for Threads is to create an option and friendly public space for conversation,” Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg said in a Threads post following the launch. “We hope to take what Instagram does best and create a new experience around text, ideas, and discussing what’s on your mind.”

According to the app’s listing, Threads is a place where communities can come together to discuss everything from the topics they care about today to what’s trending, mirroring Twitter’s core functions.

“Whatever it is you’re interested in, you can follow and connect directly with your favorite creators and others who love the same things — or build a loyal following of your own to share your ideas, opinions and creativity with the world,” it reads.

Meta announced that messages posted on Threads would be limited to 500 characters. The company also stated that the app would be available in 100 countries through Apple’s iOS and Android platforms.

Upon downloading the app, users are prompted to connect their Instagram accounts, personalize their profiles, and follow the same accounts they already follow on Instagram.

The app’s interface resembles Twitter, featuring a familiar layout, a text-based feed, and the ability to repost and quote other Thread posts. Additionally, it incorporates Instagram’s visual style and allows for seamless sharing of Thread posts directly to Instagram Stories. Verified Instagram accounts are automatically verified on Threads, and users can choose to make their Thread accounts public or private.

As Meta, with its extensive resources and massive user base, enters the market, Threads joins a growing list of Twitter competitors, potentially posing a significant threat to Twitter’s dominance.

The anticipated fight between Musk and Zuckerberg was orchestrated by the former’s move to create a similar app to Twitter.

Last month, Musk responded to a tweet about Threads saying: “I’m sure Earth can’t wait to be exclusively under Zuck’s thumb with no other options,” and followed up with a tweet teasing a cage fight Zuckerberg.

Zuckerberg, posting a screenshot of Musk’s tweet overlaid in an Instagram story, fired back with the caption: “Send Me Location.”

But before the cage fight, Zuckerberg has thrown the first punch with the launch of Threads. The launch of Threads coincides with Twitter’s period of chaos that was amplified during the weekend by Musk’s decision to put temporary limits on the number of tweets users can view within the app.

Though Musk said the restrictions had been applied “to address extreme levels of data scraping and system manipulation,” it stirred resentment from Twitter users.

The development added to the many grudges several Twitter users hold against Musk for introducing unpopular changes since he took over late last year.

Musk has also had a fallout with advertisers who have left Twitter in droves because of his style of running the platform. With a growing number of Twitter users who are dissatisfied with the way Musk is running the platform, Threads may become the sane alternative.

“It will take some time, but I think there should be a public conversation app with 1 billion+ on it. Twitter has had the opportunity to do this but hasn’t nailed it. Hopefully, we will,” Zuckerberg said on Threads.
