Tinubu's reform bills: FG Commission takes drastic action

  • The RMAFC has made a strong opposition to the tax reform bills President Bola Tinubu had forwarded to the national assembly
  • According to the Revenue Commission, the tax reform bills are against the constitution and asked the executive to retrace its position on the bills
  • The tax reform bills have faced criticism from some stakeholders, particularly the northern governors and other elites in the region

The Revenue Mobilisation, Allocation and Fiscal Commission (RMAFC) has strongly opposed President Bola Tinubu’s contentious tax reform bills, citing alleged constitutional breaches in a comprehensive nine-page memorandum.

RMAFC outlined several objections to the proposed legislation, emphasizing that Section 162(2) of the 1999 Constitution grants the Commission the sole authority to determine the formula for equitable revenue sharing among the three tiers of government.
