The Presidency said on Wednesday the tax reform bills would boost production in Nigeria.
The Special Adviser on Policy Communication to the President, Daniel Bwala, stated this on a live TV program.
He said the tax reform bills would encourage production in the country.
Bwala said: “The [Bola Tinubu] government has communicated in very clear terms to the governors and stakeholders and all who care to listen that the Tax Reform bill is actually going to help your own state and not anti-your state.”
“But the Tax Reform bill is also encouraging production. You have interrogated leaders on the need to build a production-based economy and not one that is dependent on stamps from the federal government. And that is the direction we all are looking.”
“Instead of scapegoating and blackmailing the president, the governors should talk to their lawmakers.”
“He [the President] has presented the bill to the National Assembly. It is the National Assembly that will do what they need to do in the process of the passage. The tax reform bill primarily benefits the common man.”.
