Tinubu can’t unilaterally suspend tax law, Oyedele insists as lawyers push back

Chairman of the Presidential Fiscal Policy and Tax Reforms Committee, Taiwo Oyedele, says President Bola Tinubu and the executive arm have no constitutional power to suspend implementation of the new tax reform laws despite the controversy over alleged alterations. He argued that once a bill has been duly passed by the National Assembly, signed by the president and gazetted, it becomes an Act that can only be amended or repealed by parliament, not frozen by executive order.​​ Oyedele also clarified that the reforms comprise four separate tax laws, two of which came into effect immediately upon assent, while the remaining two are scheduled to commence on January 1, 2026. He maintained that the disputed “multiple tax” regulations circulating online are fake and urged Nigerians to allow lawmakers conclude their investigation into alleged errors in the gazetted texts.​​ However, several senior […]

Russia plans nuclear power plant on the moon by 2036

Russia plans to build a nuclear powered facility on the moon within the next decade to support its lunar space programme and a joint Russian Chinese research station. The project is part of Moscow’s push to reassert itself in space as global powers race to establish a long term presence on the lunar surface.​ State space agency Roscosmos said it has signed a contract with the Lavochkin Association aerospace company to develop a lunar power plant by 2036. Although the statement did not explicitly use the word “nuclear”, the project involves state nuclear company Rosatom and the Kurchatov Institute, Russia’s leading nuclear research centre, strongly indicating a nuclear facility.​ Roscosmos said the plant will supply energy for Russia’s wider lunar programme, including rovers, an observatory and infrastructure for the planned International Lunar Research Station with China. The agency described it […]

EU leaders in crunch talks on €210bn frozen Russian assets for Ukraine

EU leaders are meeting in Brussels for high stakes talks on whether to channel around €210bn in frozen Russian assets to support Ukraine’s war effort against Russia. Most of the money is held at Belgian based clearing house Euroclear, where interest and other proceeds from the immobilised funds have been accruing since sanctions were imposed in 2022.​ The funds are seen as vital to Ukraine’s ability to keep fighting, with officials warning that Kyiv could face bankruptcy in early 2026 without fresh external support. A financial collapse would leave the government unable to pay soldiers, police, civil servants or purchase weapons and ammunition.​ Leaders are debating proposals to use the frozen Russian assets as collateral to raise long term loans for Ukraine on capital markets, leaving the principal untouched for now. Under the plan, Ukraine might not have to repay […]

Algeria moves to label French colonisation a ‘state crime’ and seek reparations

Algeria’s parliament has advanced a landmark bill that would formally declare France’s 130 year colonisation of the country a “state crime” and hold it responsible for war crimes and crimes against humanity committed between 1830 and 1962. Lawmakers are voting on the legislation amid a wider diplomatic rift with Paris, with supporters calling the move a historic step in the country’s quest for colonial justice.​ The draft law seeks to criminalise France’s colonial rule, classifying atrocities committed during the occupation as crimes against humanity under international law. It also makes the “glorification” of French colonialism in Algeria an offence, signalling a tougher stance on how the period is remembered and discussed in public life.​ According to texts seen by local and international media, the bill states that France bears legal responsibility for its colonial past in Algeria and for the […]

Ndume urges Tinubu to suspend contested tax laws, order probe

Former Senate Leader Mohammed Ali Ndume has called on President Bola Tinubu to intervene in the growing controversy over Nigeria’s new Tax Reform Acts by suspending their planned January implementation. He said the president should not allow the laws to take off while serious questions remain about the authenticity of the version he assented to.​ Ndume noted that opposition leaders, civil society groups and the Nigerian Bar Association have all raised alarms about alleged alterations between the bills passed by the National Assembly and the gazetted laws. NBA President Afam Osigwe warned that the discrepancies threaten the integrity and credibility of the country’s legislative process and strike at the heart of constitutional governance.​ The controversy deepened after House of Representatives member Abdussamad Dasuki drew attention to suspected changes in the tax texts. Dasuki said the version published by the Federal […]
