President Bola Tinubu has maintained that there is no going back on the controversial tax reform bill currently before the Nigeria senate.
President Tinubu stated this while answering questions during his maiden presidential media chat broadcast on Monday night, stressing that the economy cannot be revived with the “old broken book.”
“Tax reform is here to stay; we cannot just continue to do what we were doing years to years in today’s economy. We cannot retool this economy with the old broken books, and I believe I have that capacity that is why I went into the race,” Tinubu said.
“I am focused on what Nigeria needs and what I must do for Nigeria, it is not just going to be eldorado for everybody, but the new dawn is here, I am convinced, and you should be convinced.”
The proposed tax reform bills on introduction by the Tinubu’s administration generated controversies, it was subtly opposed by leaders from the Northern part of the country.
The leaders from the north in a statement had argued that though the region was not against the bill, they called for a wider consultation.
