President Bola Tinubu has commended the Nigeria Governors’ Forum (NGF) for their unanimous support of four Tax Reform Bills currently under consideration by the National Assembly.
In a statement signed by Bayo Onanuga on Thursday, Tinubu lauded the governors for demonstrating bold leadership and fostering national unity by setting aside regional, ethnic, and political differences to prioritize Nigeria’s development.
He praised the outcome of the recent consultation between the NGF and the Presidential Committee on Tax and Fiscal Policy as a model of effective cooperation between the Federal and State governments.
The President highlighted that the Tax Reform Bills are designed to serve the interests of the nation’s poor by enhancing economic competitiveness and attracting both local and foreign investments. He emphasized that modernizing Nigeria’s outdated tax laws is critical to achieving these objectives.
