The Nigerian Senate has established a special committee to collaborate with the Federal Government in resolving issues surrounding the tax reform bills. Deputy Senate President Jibrin Barau announced this during a plenary session on Wednesday.
The committee, comprising all Senate leadership and members such as Tahir Mongunu, Adamu Aliero, and Seriake Dickson, will meet on Thursday at the National Assembly to address the concerns causing the uproar. Barau emphasized the importance of unity, stating, “We don’t want the country disunited. So, the delegations will meet to resolve the gray areas.”
This development follows an interview by Senator Shehu Buba with the British Broadcasting Service, Hausa Service, where he revealed that Northern senators agreed to recall the Tax Reforms Bills. Additionally, President Bola Tinubu directed the Ministry of Justice to meet with lawmakers to address concerns raised by certain interests.
