Lagos State government reduces the controversial Land Use Charge

Governor Akinwunmi Ambode of Lagos state has reduced the rates of the land use charge following widespread criticism. 

The government had reviewed the rates upward, charging property solely occupied by the owner for residential purpose at the rate of 0.076 percent per annum; property occupied by the owner and tenant(s) or third parties at 0.256 percent per annum; while investment property fully occupied by tenants or third party(ies) for revenue generation at 0.76 percent per annum.

It also threatened to penalize those who do not make payment after receiving notice. Failure to pay between 45 and 75 days attracted 50 percent increase; after 105 days, a 100 percent increase. The law prescribed that a property shall be liable to enforcement if payment is not made after 135 days of notice.

However, at a press conference in Alausa, Ikeja today, Akinyemi Ashade, commissioner of finance, said commercial property owners would get 50 percent discount. Owner-occupier 25 percent, while there would be waiver for late payment and tax credit for those who are prompt in payment.

Payment in instalment was also introduced in the new arrangement. The government took the action after the pressure from individuals, pressure groups and civil society organisations (CSOs).

Johnny Depp & Amber Heard Getting Married In A Week!

Johnny Depp and Amber Heard are set to tie the knot – and soon!

The 51-year-old actor will wed the actress, 28, next weekend, according to People.

The couple's nuptials will take place on Johnny's 45-acre private island (Little Hall's Pond Cay) in the Bahamas, according to the mag.

News of Johnny and Amber's engagement broke in January 2014 and the pair celebrated with an engagement party in March 2014.

The couple was plagued by split rumors after a long stretch of gossip-fueling solo red carpet appearances, but stepped out together at the 8th Annual Heaven Gala in December 2014, and shared a very public kiss.

The soon-to-be spouses met while co-starring in 2011's "The Rum Diary," but didn't begin dating until 2012 (after Johnny split from longtime lover Vanessa Paradis, with whom he has two children).
