The Senate on Thursday progressed the four contentious tax reform bills submitted by President Bola Ahmed Tinubu to the second reading stage.
This decision followed a lead debate on the bills by Senate Leader, Senator Opeyemi Bamidele (APC, Ekiti Central), and subsequent deliberations by senators during the plenary session.
It is worth noting that key officials from Tinubu’s administration had appeared before the Senate on Wednesday, providing detailed explanations on the proposed legislation.
Meanwhile, Northern governors, traditional rulers, and the Northern Elders Forum have opposed the bills, arguing they do not serve the nation’s best interests.
