THE WHISTLER reports that on June 26, 2025, President Tinubu assented to four major tax reform bills, the Nigeria Tax Bill, Nigeria Tax Administration Bill, Nigeria Revenue Service (Establishment) Bill, and the Joint Revenue Board (Establishment) Bill, which took effect from January 1, 2026. However, Ndume described the laws as “faulty,” insisting that what lawmakers approved was not what the President eventually signed. He stressed that the matter goes beyond technical errors, accusing the executive arm of undermining transparency and public trust. The President is a servant of the people; Nigerians are not servants of the President,” Ndume stated. However, Ndume maintained that President Tinubu still has an opportunity to reverse public dissatisfaction and regain trust because “Nigerians are forgiving people”.
