Professor Johnbull, the didactic TV
Drama Series, sponsored by the next generation network, Globacom,
will this week focus on the vexed issue of multiple taxation and its ripple
effects on enterprises.
Tagged "Tax and
Revenue", the new episode will be broadcast on Tuesday on
NTA Network, NTA International on DSTV Channel 251 and NTA on StarTimes
at 8.30 p.m.
According to Globacom, the Executive
Producer of the sitcom, the "new episode is meant to draw the attention of
the authorities to the challenges entrepreneurs face in the hands of the
multiple Task Forces set up by the various governments to collect taxes,
revenues and rates".
"It is a fact that some
businesses are closing down, while many others are struggling under the weight
of multiple taxation. There are different Task Forces everywhere and many of
them cash in on revenue drive by governments to exploit the people. The result
is that Small and Medium Scale businesses are going down. The purpose
of Tax and Revenue is to draw the attention of the
authorities to the imminent crisis that may plague the economy if not
addressed", the statement added.
Among the regulars of the sitcom who
feature in Tax and Revenue are the moralist, Professor
Johnbull (Kanayo O. Kanayo), Elizabeth (Queen Nwokoye), Olaniyi (Yomi
Fash-Lanso), Mai Doya (Funky Mallam), Etuk (Imeh Bishop), Jumoke (Bidemi
Kosoko), Flash (Stephen Odimgbe) and Abadnego (Martins Nebo).
Also in the new episode is
Nollywood diva, Patience Ozokwor, popularly known as Mama G, who makes yet
another cameo appearance.
While enjoining viewers to make out
time to watch the new episode, Globacom said Tax and Revenue “is
an elucidation on what constitutes multiple taxation; what citizens are
expected to do when confronted by task forces on revenue and what rights the
citizen have as well as their obligations to the state in terms of taxes, rates
and revenues”.
The repeat broadcast of the
episode will come up at 8.30 p.m. on Friday on the same NTA
stations.
