Adedeji Assures No New Taxes in Proposed Tax Reforms
Zacch Adedeji, Chairman of the Federal Inland Revenue Service (FIRS), reassured Nigerians that the proposed tax reform bills will not introduce new taxes or raise current ones. Speaking at a session with the Senate Committee on Finance, Adedeji emphasized that the reforms will simplify tax administration and reduce the number of taxes without affecting jobs or merging agencies.
President Bola Tinubu submitted four tax bills to the National Assembly to streamline tax laws, modernize systems, and expand Nigeria’s tax base. Adedeji also announced that the FIRS will be renamed the Nigeria Revenue Service to reflect its broader functions. Lawmakers praised the FIRS for its strong performance in non-oil revenue collection.
It was reported that bandits were seen in Kwara State and abducted six residents from Rukpete Village.
The incident was reported to have occurred on June 8 at about 11 p.m.
Sources revealed that seven people were initially taken, but an elderly man was later released, leaving six victims in captivity.
The rising cases of insecurity in the country remain quite alarming.
The state of the country is affecting many people, as they believe nowhere is safe, including schools where they keep their children.
It has been reported that some parents have started withdrawing their children from schools in Abuja.
It can be noted that rumours of bandits being sighted near a school triggered panic, causing parents to hurriedly remove their children for safety.
While the reports of bandits have not been confirmed, the school has also issued safety measures to ensure the protection of students within the premises.
It has been rumored that bandits have made their way to Lagos, and allegedly they were spotted in Ibeju-Lekki, where some residents became suspicious of them and reported the matter.
A clip of the group of men went viral online, and many people became concerned. Whether true or not, fear has been sparked among Lagosians as they worry that bandits may already be in the state. Even if the reports remain unconfirmed, many believe it is still a possibility worth paying attention to.
