Ecological Sustainability of Petroleum Resources Utilisation in Nigeria
Get PDFHumans will continue to depend on their environmental resources for sustenance, sciences and development. The sustainability of the environment and ecological integrity has to be emphasised if the present development in technology and sciences would leave natural capital to the future generations. It is in the context of ecological integrity, restoration of the human environment and human health that discussions on sustainability are anchored. The context of sustainability is taken to be the management of human use of the biosphere so that it may yield the greatest sustainable benefit to present generation while maintaining its potential to meet the needs and aspiration of future generations. This article focuses on ecological sustainability of petroleum resources utilisation in Nigeria. The question sought to be answered is whether the Nigerian ecosystems can be said to be sustainable with the current methods of petroleum resources utilisation in Nigeria? This article adopts doctrinal methodology with data drawn from laws relating to sustainability and ecology as well as articles relevant to this discourse. It was found that the management of petroleum resources in Nigeria is not indicative of a planned sustainable ecosystem worthy to be bequeathed to the future generation. The article recommends urgent ecological and environmental management actions suitable for a biosphere which meet needs of present generation and not impair the potential for uses of same ecological resources by future generations

Comparison of Digital Tax in Indonesia and Singapore on Tax Criminal Law Enforcement: A Review of the Ultimum Remedium Principle
Get PDFIn the journey towards digital transformation, the tax sector has come under the spotlight. Digital tax, through the Core Tax Administration System (CTAS) has emerged as a key pillar in this transformation effort, promising unprecedented efficiency in tax administration. However, behind this promise of efficiency, there are pressing questions about legal fairness, especially in the context of tax criminal law enforcement, and to what extent we can compete with Singapore's Digital Tax. This research aims to explore the profound implications of CTAS digitization on tax criminal law enforcement, with a particular focus on the Ultimum Remedium principle, when compared to Singapore. This principle emphasizes that criminal law enforcement should be the last resort after all alternative remedies have been explored. Using a normative approach, this research will explore how the digitization of CTAS affects tax law enforcement practices, identifying the challenges, opportunities, and impacts that arise. Through in-depth interviews with legal experts, tax practitioners, and tax authority representatives, data will be analyzed to understand the extent to which the Ultimum Remedium principle remains relevant in the digital era. The hope is that this research will not only provide new insights into the dynamics of the relationship between technology and law, but will also provide a foundation for policymakers to maintain the right balance between administrative efficiency and legal fairness compared to Singapore in the context of tax law enforcement in the digital era
