President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has called on Nigerian media to support his government’s Tax Reform Agenda, saying it will help the country to build an enduring national wealth.

Tinubu said this on Sunday at the Media Merit Awards ceremony at the Muson Centre, Lagos, through the Minister of Information and National Orientation, Mohammed Idris.

He said: “I will say with every sense of conviction that our policies are deliberate and well-thought-out. We are headed toward the restoration of Nigeria, on a path requiring a comprehensive approach that addresses economic diversification, human capital development, infrastructure development, wealth creation, and inclusive growth.

“Among our various landmark reforms is the one focused on tax, by far one of the most profound steps necessary for setting Nigeria onto the path of enduring national wealth and prosperity for all our people.

“There is a consensus that the tax administration system in Nigeria requires reform. We may not all agree on every detail of the required reform, but there will be many areas of convergence,” he said.

NewsOrient reports that the Tinubu-led Federal Government’s plan to pass into law four Tax Reform Bills has been a source of disagreement and hot debate across the country.

The debate was so hot that the bills, which had passed second reading at the National Assembly had to be suspended pending reviews.
