Tinubu’s Tax Reform Bill Doesn’t Discriminate Against The North -Shehu Sani
“The Tax reform Bill is not inimical to the North or any part of this country. Its in fact economically beneficial and fair to all parts. People should keep aside sentiments and read the Bill carefully. Its a comprehensive and bold move to harmonise and simplify tax administration and streamline it’s operations and enforcement.
“The Bill will actually generate and safeguard more revenue to the states. It will also combat the corruption in the so called tax waivers granted to business cabals. There is nowhere in the document where any region will be shortchanged or taxes will be increased or jobs will be lost.
“Northern Governors should rescind their decision to reject the Bill, take time to read it and make inputs where necessary. NASS must treat this important Bill with all seriousness. Just read the content of the Bill.” -Senator Shehu Sani
