Tax reform bills: Reps take reverse as fresh permutation emerges

  • President Bola Tinubu’s tax reform bills are set to be debated again at the House of Representatives, following earlier suspension
  • The development came after the southern caucus of the Green Chamber agreed to subject the bills to intense legislation
  • The bills were earlier suspended indefinitely after the northern caucus rejected them in solidarity with their governors’ stance

The House of Representatives is set to resume debate on President Bola Tinubu’s tax reform bills, which are currently before the National Assembly. This comes after the southern caucus of the Green Chamber pledged to subject the bills to thorough legislative scrutiny.

The caucus, comprising federal lawmakers from 17 states, met on Tuesday, December 10, to discuss the controversial tax bills.
