The House of Representatives has passed for second reading four consolidated tax reform bills submitted by President BOLA TINUBU on Wednesday, with no opposition from members.

The bills included the Nigeria Revenue Service (Establishment) Bill, the Nigeria Tax Bill, the Nigeria Tax Administration Bill, and the Joint Revenue Board (Establishment) Bill.

It would be recalled that the bills were first read on October 8, 2024, but the debate was delayed due to disagreements on the Nigeria Tax Administration Bill, primarily from northern leaders and the Nigerian Governors Forum.

Despite this, Speaker ABBAS TAJUDEEN encouraged members to consult widely with their constituents before debating the bills.
