Tinubu counters NEC’s call to withdraw 'Tax Reform Bill'

In a statement on Friday, November 1, Tinubu’s media aide, Bayo Onanuga, confirmed that the president remains firm on ensuring that the bill, now under review in the National Assembly, goes through the standard legislative procedures.

Amid concerns voiced by stakeholders, mainly from northern regions, the NEC had advised Tinubu’s administration to pull back the bill for reassessment.

However, the president sees the legislative process as an avenue for public contributions and necessary revisions.
