Senator Dickson Vows Tax Reform Bills Will Pass Despite Widespread Opposition
The Chairman of the Senate Committee on Ecology and Climate Change, Seriake Dickson (PDP, Bayelsa West), has assured Nigerians that the National Assembly will pass the controversial tax reform bills despite opposition from various quarters.
Speaking to journalists in Abuja on Monday, December 2, 2024, Dickson likened the situation to the passage of the Petroleum Industry Act (PIA), stating, “The heavens didn’t fall then, and they won’t now.”
The tax reform bills, transmitted by President Tinubu on October 3, 2024, have faced criticism from governors, civil society groups, and some lawmakers. While the Senate has already passed the bills for a second reading, the House of Representatives is yet to act.
Dickson highlighted the importance of correcting tax anomalies, emphasizing, “Taxes from Bayelsa State should not be paid to Lagos State. This is an opportunity to ensure fairness and promote the national interest.”
Nigerian comedian Seyi Law takes to social media as he defends President Bola Tinubu. The comedian stated that the president has done a lot in his administration and claimed that Nigeria is safer and economically sound under his administration.
He then compared how things now to past years under the administration of others, and shared how things were bad. He claimed that now the economy is stabilized.
“Nigeria is safer now than 10 years ago. This government has killed more bandits than any government in Nigeria since the time of Jonathan. When last have you heard of bomb blast in Nigeria?”
It has been reported that fire occurred at the Murtala Muhammed International Airport, Lagos (MMIA), Terminal 1. This fire incident occurred on Monday, 23rd of February, 2026.
Passengers at that terminal were spotted running away for safety after seeing the fire and the alarm.
The Federal Airports Authority of Nigeria (FAAN) released a statement and shared that no life was lost and people were saved and avoided danger.
It has been reported that Kano State has closed down all entertainment spots across the state. This was stated to happen because of the ongoing Ramadan fast.
The federal government shared that the new law will take place from 18th of February, 10 pm, till the last day of Ramadan. This is in order for the people participating in it to truly focus on the fast.
