“This meeting, themed ‘Taxation in Nigeria: Issues, Challenges, and the Future,’ aims to provide a platform for stakeholders to critically examine the bill’s provisions and their implications for the country.

“The proposed bill, recently transmitted to the National Assembly by President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, seeks to reshape Nigeria’s fiscal framework and establish a comprehensive legal framework governing taxation of incomes, transactions, and instruments.

“The meeting aims to facilitate dialogue among stakeholders and provide a platform for civil society groups to contribute to the policymaking process.

“The importance of this meeting is crucial for civil society groups to engage with policymakers and stakeholders to ensure that the tax bill serves the best interests of the Nigerian people.”
