Nigeria’s Deputy Senate President, Senator Barau Jibrin, has explained the reason upper legislative chamber allowed the controversial Tax Reform Bills to pass for second reading.
Jibrin, in an interview with BBC Hausa said, it was to allow experts and all Nigerians provide their input on the bills.
Recall that President Bola Tinubu had transmitted four tax reform bills to the National Assembly for consideration last month.
The move generated controversy with the northern governors and other stakeholders kicking against the tax reforms.
However, the Red Chamber on Thursday passed the four tax bills for second reading through voice votes.
Speaking to BBC Hausa Service on Friday, the Deputy Senate President said, the Senators passed the tax reform bills to give room for contributions from experts and Nigerians. – DP
