What do you believe is the single most important factor driving up the cost of living in Nigeria?

Bolgatanga, Aug. 4, GNA – The Flagbearer of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Dr Mahamudu Bawumia, says churches and faith-based organizations under his Presidency will enjoy tax waivers on their imports.

He said the faith-based organizations were major key development partners in Ghana,and should also benefit from import duty waivers.

He said when external development partners imported materials into the country to improve on some sectors in the country, they enjoyed tax waivers, but when Churches imported same materials for construction of schools and hospitals, they paid import duties.

“I want to re-designate the churches and the faith-based institutions as development partners, so that they will benefit from the same import duty waivers and other incentives that we give the other development partners,” he said.

Dr Bawumia made the commitment at the Holy Ghost Temple of the Assemblies of God Church in Bolgatanga, in the Upper East Region during his just ended Constituency-focused campaign tour of the Region.
