Newspaper from 2000/03/20

The text discusses a meeting between the Special Adviser to the President on Media Affairs, Doyin Okupe, and the Afenifere leader, Senator Abraham Adesanya, to address the issue of the Lagos State Government granting a tax holiday to the Enron company. The meeting is believed to be in response to accusations made by Okupe that the Lagos Government conspired to grant the tax holiday, which amounted to the loss of Nigerians' money. Tinubu, the former Governor of Lagos State, responds by stating that the tax holiday was negotiated with the company and not a gift, and that the insinuation of corruption is unfounded. He also notes that the power project is not for the benefit of a particular individual or group, but for the development of the country.
