Tinubu to Sign Four Tax Bills to Cut Taxes, Help Nigerians and Small Businesses
President Bola Ahmed Tinubu says Nigeria is set for a major economic shift as he prepares to sign four significant tax bills into law. In a post shared on his official X account Thursday, Tinubu explained that the new tax reforms are designed to do more than just tidy up tax laws, they are aimed at providing real relief to ordinary Nigerians.
“In the next few hours, I will be signing four major tax reform bills into law, marking a bold new chapter for our economy,” he stated. He noted that the reforms would introduce the first major tax cuts in years, with benefits focused on low-income earners, small business owners, and families struggling to keep up with daily living costs.
The tax bills include the Nigeria Tax Bill, the Nigeria Tax Administration Bill, the Nigeria Revenue Service (Establishment) Bill, and the Joint Revenue Board (Establishment) Bill. Tinubu explained that these new laws will help bring together Nigeria’s scattered tax system, reduce waste, cut unnecessary processes, boost investor confidence, and ensure better transparency and coordination across all levels of government.
It has been reported that Niger State and some northern states have come together and agreed to take down 979 forests in order to strengthen national security.
This was revealed by the Niger State Governor, represented by his deputy, Yakubu Garba, at the passing-out parade in Mutum Daya.
He also shared that the government will support in any way they can in order to achieve this and strengthen security in Nigeria.
“The state will make necessary arrangements to support and empower the Forest Guard families for their service to the nation. We will provide them with adequate healthcare insurance scheme.”
Nigerian news analyst, Mahmud Jega, has shared his opinion on the recent airstrike carried out by the United States in Nigeria, stating that Nigerians should not blame President Bola Tinubu for the incident.
Jega made this statement during a recent interview, where he said he does not believe many people will hold the Tinubu administration responsible, as Donald Trump had issued threats against Nigeria long before Tinubu’s administration.
“No, I don’t think many people will blame the Tinubu administration for what is happening now because President Donald Trump, when he first made the threats, it was clearly not in coordination with the Tinubu administration or the government of Nigeria,” Jega said.
It has been reported that the United States carried out an airstrike targeting ISIS in the northwest region of Nigeria. The order was reportedly given by former U.S. President Donald Trump.
“Tonight, at my direction as Commander in Chief, the United States launched a powerful and deadly strike against ISIS terrorist elements in northwest Nigeria,” Trump said.
He added, “I have previously warned these terrorists that if they did not stop the slaughtering of Christians, there would be hell to pay, and tonight, there was.”
