Tax reform bills: 14-month effort, not a rushed process — Presidency

The Senior Special Assistant to the President on Media and Publicity, Temitope Ajayi, has described as “disingenuous” claims that the Tax Reform Bills are being rushed through the National Assembly for ulterior motive.

According to her Nigeria has suffered significant losses in revenue, investments, and job opportunities in the Oil & Gas sector due to the delayed passage of the Petroleum Industry Bill (PIB).

She disclosed this in a post she shared via her X handle on Monday, 2nd of December 2024.

She wrote:

“It is very disingenuous to say that the Tax Reform Bills that are product of 14 months of extensive work by over 80 professionals drawn from every part of the country, across various professions and sectors of the economy are being rushed through the National Assembly for ulterior motive.

“The suggestion that it took Petroleum Industry Bill (PIB) over 20 to get through the parliament is backward thinking. Nigeria lost too much for the failure to pass the PIB on time in terms of revenue, investments and jobs in the Oil & Gas sector.

“We should not wait for another 20 years to do what is right for our country.” [CONTINUE READING HERE]>>>>
