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.
Lagos State Police react to claims of them taking money from dispatch riders on the Coastal Road in Lagos.
It started after a rumour was shared that police arrest and take money from riders as a demand for high bribes, sometimes reaching ₦200,000, and seize motorcycles if not given.
The Police Public Relations Officer, SP Benjamin Hundeyin, then addressed the claims online and stated in his statement that he disagreed that the rumour is true and stated, “The spread of misinformation only causes more harm than good. In this era, we can and must do better.”

He then added that the holiday will provide as a day for the citizens to participate in the activities for the state milestone.
Former Kogi politician, Dino Melaye, faces backlash from the public after he shared a video on social media of him abroad and living well through his luxurious lifestyle.
In the same video, he speaks about Nigeria’s current economy and shares his disappointment.
He wrote, “See country, God help us to build a true nation where our wicked leaders will be in jail and the right people in power. Nigeria must be fixed. YES WE CAN.”
However, many state that what he posted and what he is saying contradict each other, and they accused him of sharing his own records to know if he was a corrupt leader.
