Abdulmumin Jibrin Confident Tinubu’s Tax Reform Bills Will Pass Despite Opposition
National Assembly member Abdulmumin Jibrin has expressed confidence that President Bola Tinubu’s tax reform bills will be approved, despite criticism from some Northern stakeholders and calls for withdrawal by the National Executive Council.
Jibrin, representing Kano’s Kiru/Bebeji Constituency, stated on Channels Television that opposition to the reforms is not unanimous in the North and stressed his commitment to advancing the legislation.
“It is not a consensus in the North that this bill should be shut down… the bill will go through the processes in the National Assembly and it will be passed,” he asserted, emphasizing the reforms’ alignment with national goals.
President Tinubu, through his adviser Bayo Onanuga, also encouraged the National Assembly to allow the legislative process to proceed, expressing openness to consultations to address any concerns.
It has been reported that the Ebola virus is rising again and there have been some cases. This has caused fear in many, with talks of different viruses spreading.
Amid this concern, the Federal Airports Authority of Nigeria (FAAN) reassured the people that no trace of Ebola has been confirmed in the country, despite the outbreak in Africa.
FAAN shared that they have been on the lookout for travellers who may have symptoms, and so far there is none.
It has been reported that the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board, Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB), has finally released the withheld results of 279 students.
It can be recalled that some results were held due to investigations of cheating. Some results proved to have traces of malpractice and were cancelled, but the ones without traces have been released and the students can finally move on.
JAMB also shared additional advice for students that might have not seen theirs: “Candidates whose results have not yet been released are advised to check their status by sending UTMERESULT to 55019 or 66019 using the same phone number used for registration to view their released results.”
It was reported that former Nigerian president Goodluck Jonathan has allegedly purchased a presidential candidate form for the 2027 elections.
It can be noted that Jonathan served as Nigeria’s president from 2010 to 2015.
This information was revealed by Sani Useni, a special assistant who made the claim. Many reacted to the news, with some expressing interest in seeing Jonathan return to power after staying relatively quiet politically since his administration ended.
However, Jonathan has not yet addressed the public or officially shared any presidential ambition.
