According to Governor Uzodimma: “As a nation, we have faced challenges of multiple taxation and overlapping tax collection by various agencies, creating inefficiencies in the system. This has given rise to the Tax Reform bill carefully drafted to address these issues, aiming to streamline our tax regime for better economic growth and public welfare.
Given that it is an Executive Bill, it is important that we approach it with seriousness, objectivity and not to be trivialized. Instead, it must be studied thoroughly to understand its intentions and areas of potential impact, and where necessary, objections or suggestions can be raised for review to ensure the bill serves the public’s best interest.
It is crucial that we do not politicize the bill because it is for the collective good of the nation, not for the interest of any individual.”
