Tinubu’s tax reform bills scale through second reading at N/Assembly

The Nigerian Senate on Thursday passed President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s tax reform bills transmitted to it for second reading.

Daily Trust reports that the Senate was followed by a lead debate on the bills presented by Senate Leader, Senator Opeyemi Bamidele (APC, Ekiti Central) and debated by senators during plenary.

Recall that some top officials in Tinubu’s government yesterday appeared before the Senate where they made detailed presentations on the bills.

There has been a backlash on the tax reform bills.

The Northern governors, traditional rulers, and Northern Elders Forum had earlier rejected the bills, saying the proposed bills were not in the interest of the nation.
