Nigeria has suspended for the time being the recently introduced Expatriate Employment Levy (EEL), which invited widespread condemnation from the private sector groups.
The suspension of the implementation of the levy was opposed by the Nigerian Association of Chambers of Commerce, Industry, Mines, and Agriculture (NACCIMA) and key stakeholders. The NACCIMA in a press release informed the implementation of the levy has been put under animated suspension till it was discussed with the employer’s organizations and other interested parties. According to the press release, some decisions were arrived at following a meeting with Doris Uzoka-Anite, the minister of industry, trade, and investment, and Olubunmi Tunji-Ojo the minister of interior. As a result, the implementation of the Expatriate Employment Levy will be paused to allow for further consultations with NACCIMA and other vital stakeholders.
