SENATE TO APPROVE TINUBU’S TAX REFORM BILLS TODAY

The Senate is set to pass the tax reform bills forwarded by President Bola Tinubu to the National Assembly today.

This development was confirmed by two prominent senators who requested anonymity, as they were not authorised to speak on the matter.

“This should have been done last week had the Rivers State of emergency issue not come up,” one source explained. “But certainly, the four bills will be approved tomorrow.”

Efforts to reach the Chairman of the Senate Committee on Media and Publicity, Senator Yemi Adaramodu, for confirmation were unsuccessful.

At the time of filing this report, Adaramodu neither answered calls nor responded to text messages seeking clarification.

The imminent Senate move comes just two weeks after the House of Representatives approved the four controversial tax reform bills.

Last week, the House of Representatives passed the same bills. With the concurrence of the Senate, the bills will next be transmitted to Tinubu for signing into law.
