The Senior Special Assistant to the Presidency on Media and Publicity, Temitope Ajayi in an explanatory statement on Wednesday, has shed more light on the controversial tax bills.
This was after President Bola Tinubu on Tuesday, directed the National Assembly and the Ministry of Justice to work together to address the concerns raised on the bill.
Criticisms have greeted Tinubu’s transmission of the Tax Reform Bills to the National Assembly. The move has pitted the president against some governors with the most vocal criticism coming from the northern region.
Some critics believe the bills are against the northern region while others argue that they would further impoverish Nigerians.
But to address these concerns, President Tinubu has mandated the Justice Ministry to look into the concerns raised and work with the leadership of the National Assembly to finetune the rough edges in the bills.
