I’ve read Fowler’s response. Indices such as real value, factoring inflation and proportion of contributions to overall budget sizes in the six years under reference not imputed. For instance, what is the percentage value of FIRS revenues to FG Budgets in 2012, 2013 & 2014 compared to 2016, 2017 & 2018? What’s the Purchasing Power Parity (PPP) in the periods under comparison? Since he referred to dollar receipts of crude oil earnings, what is his collections worth in dollar terms in the corresponding periods? And when factored for official rates of inflation, what is the REAL value of his collections year-on-year? Now, his collections should be weighed in terms of his own very claims that the tax base has been expanded from 10m tax payers to N20m. This claimed expansion should more than adequately compensate for macroeconomic contraction that manifested in reduced oil revenues, the recession and reduced GDP growth rates. If we put these numbers in graphic formats (spreadsheets, bar charts, etc), Fowler’s gross underperformance will be clearly evident.
