There is no immediate plan to implement the 5 per cent Petroleum Products Tax contained in the new tax legislation, the Federal Government has said.

This was disclosed on Tuesday by the Minister of Finance and Coordinating Minister of the Economy, Wale Edun, during a press briefing in Abuja.

Recall that the tax has generated widespread anger among Nigerians, with organised labour issuing the government an ultimatum to cancel it or face industrial action.
