Ex-Niger governor speaks against opposition to tax bills, blames govt for poor communication

The former Governor of Niger State, Babaginda Aliyu, has berated those opposing the Tax Reform Bills under consideration in the National Assembly.

Speaking at the graduation ceremony for the Executive Intelligence Management Course 17 at the National Institute for Security Studies in Abuja on Saturday, Aliyu said that those against it have not taken their time to study the bill.

The bills, including the Joint Revenue Board of Nigeria (Establishment) Bill, 2024, the Nigeria Revenue Service (Establishment) Bill, 2024, and the Nigeria Tax Bill, 2024, have sparked widespread debate since President Bola Tinubu sent them to the National Assembly.
