CPPE tackles NASS over finance bill

The Centre for the Promotion of Private Enterprise (CPPE) on Sunday expressed concerns over the passage of the 2022 Finance Bill by the National Assembly.

A statement by Muda Yusuf, director of the think tank, said the “hasty passage” of the bill calls to question the representation role of the National Assembly, adding that there was no room for public hearing and engagement with stakeholders in the consideration of the bill.

On Wednesday, the National Assembly passed the Finance Bill, a legislation that proposes key reforms to specific taxation, customs, excise and fiscal laws.
