NASS moves to clear air on disputed gazetted tax laws

The National Assembly has announced steps to clarify alleged discrepancies between versions of recently passed tax laws and the copies already gazetted and circulated to the public.​It has directed the Clerk of the National Assembly to release certified true copies of all tax bills signed by President Bola Tinubu, including the certificate pages, so Nigerians can review and verify the documents themselves.​ Officials said the move responds to public concerns after a lawmaker, Abdulsamad Dasuki, claimed that the texts passed by the two chambers differ from the gazetted versions of the Nigeria Tax Act, Nigerian Tax Administration Act, National Revenue Service Act and Joint Revenue Board Act.​The House of Representatives had earlier set up a seven member committee to investigate the alleged changes and ordered the re gazetting of the tax laws, but its report is still pending.​ The National […]

Tinubu insists new tax laws start January 1

President Bola Tinubu has reaffirmed that Nigeria’s new tax laws will take effect tomorrow, January 1, 2026, despite mounting calls for a delay. He said no substantial issue has been found to justify suspending the reforms, which he described as a once in a generation chance to build a fair and stronger fiscal system.​ Tinubu explained that the new tax laws are not aimed at simply raising taxes but at restructuring the system, harmonising levies and protecting citizens’ dignity while strengthening the social contract. He urged all stakeholders to support the implementation phase and promised that the Presidency will work with the National Assembly to quickly resolve any genuine concerns about the laws.​ He also responded to public criticism over alleged changes between the version of the tax laws passed by the National Assembly and the gazetted version.

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passed by the National Assembly, signed by the president and gazetted, it becomes an Act that can only be amended or repealed by parliament, not frozen by executive order.​​ Oyedele also clarified that the reforms comprise four separate tax laws, two of which came into effect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 […]

NBA, Atiku demand suspension of ‘altered’ tax laws

The Nigerian Bar Association and former Vice President Atiku Abubakar have called for the immediate suspension of implementation of Nigeria’s new tax reform laws over alleged alterations in the gazetted version. They raised alarm that sections of the laws appear different from what was debated and passed by the National Assembly, describing the situation as a grave constitutional breach.​ Atiku, in a detailed statement, described the alleged post passage changes as a “brazen act of treason” and “direct assault” on Nigeria’s constitutional democracy. He warned that inserting new coercive powers for tax authorities after legislative approval undermines the principle that only parliament can make or amend laws.​ The former vice president listed provisions he considers unconstitutional, including powers for tax officials to arrest, seize property and conduct enforcement sales without court orders. He argued that these turn tax collectors into […]

Presidency explains rise in 2026 budget to N58trn

The Presidency says the proposed 2026 federal budget of N58.18 trillion is aimed at consolidating reforms, boosting growth and tackling security and social challenges, not just expanding spending for its own sake. The aggregate expenditure is about six per cent higher than the 2025 estimate of N49.7 trillion, reflecting what officials describe as a more ambitious but targeted fiscal plan.​ According to presidential officials, the increase is driven mainly by higher allocations to defence, internal security and law enforcement in response to persistent insurgency, banditry and other threats. The 2026 plan earmarks about N5.41 trillion for security related spending, making it one of the largest single components of the budget.​ The budget also scales up capital investment in infrastructure, including roads, rail, power and public assets needed to support private sector led growth. Government argues that sustained infrastructure funding is […]

Security tops Tinubu’s N58.18trn 2026 budget priorities

President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has made security the single biggest priority in the proposed N58.18 trillion 2026 federal budget, earmarking N5.41 trillion for defence and internal security. The allocation is the largest for any sector and marks the third straight year that security has taken the top share of national spending under his administration.​ Presenting the “Budget of Consolidation, Renewed Resilience and Shared Prosperity” to a joint session of the National Assembly, Tinubu said security remains the foundation of economic growth, investment and social stability. He argued that without peace, efforts to expand jobs, infrastructure, education and health will not succeed.​ Under the proposal, defence and security will receive N5.41 trillion, ahead of infrastructure (N3.56 trillion), education (N3.52 trillion) and health (N2.48 trillion). The funds are expected to modernise the armed forces, strengthen intelligence driven policing, tighten border security and […]

Tight security as Tinubu heads to NASS to present 2026 budget

Security has been significantly tightened around the National Assembly Complex in Abuja as President Bola Ahmed Tinubu prepares to present the 2026 Appropriation Bill to a joint session of the Senate and House of Representatives. Extra armed policemen have been deployed to all main entry points, including the MOPOL Gate, the Villa Gate and the Annex Gates.​ Access to the complex has been strictly restricted to accredited persons. Those without proper accreditation are being turned back, although the screening and accreditation process has so far been reported as smooth and without incident.​ The usual busy atmosphere at the National Assembly has largely disappeared due to the movement restrictions. Human and vehicular traffic has been reduced, leaving the foyer and corridors, normally crowded with staff, visitors and lobbyists, unusually quiet.​ President Tinubu is scheduled to present budget estimates of N54.46 trillion […]
