Senate sets up committee to liaise with FG on Tax reform bills
The Senate has constituted a special committee to meet the executive to work with the Federal Government to resolve the issues around the tax reform bills.
This was made known by the Deputy Senate President, Jibrin Barau, who presided during plenary on Wednesday.
Barau noted that the delegation will meet on Thursday at the National Assembly to resolve all the issues that have been the cause of the uproar.
He said, “We don’t want the country disunited. So, the delegations will meet to resolve the gray areas.”
The committee members include all the Senate leadership, including other members like Tahir Mongunu, Adamu Aliero, Seriake Dickson, Titus Zam, Abdullahi Yahaya, Adeola Solomon, Sani Musa, and Tokunbo Abiru.
This resolution comes after an expose by Senator Shehu Buba in an interview with British Broadcasting Service, Hausa Service where he said Northern senators agreed to recall the Tax Reforms Bills.
The PUNCH reported that President Bola Tinubu on Tuesday directed the Ministry of Justice to meet with lawmakers to address concerns raised by certain interests.
