Kano Govt rejects Tinubu’s tax reform bills

DAILY POST

The Kano State Government has described as ill-timed, the introduction of President Tinubu’s Tax Reforms Bills, rejecting it in all ramifications.

The government said the bills would do more harm than good to the people of the state.

Governor Abba Kabir Yusuf, represented by his deputy, Comrade Aminu Abdussalam Gwarzo, voiced strong opposition to the Federal Government’s proposed tax reform bills at Filin Mahaha, Kofar Naisa open theatre, where thousands of residents gathered to enjoy music and cultural displays to welcome the New Year.

He described the proposed tax reforms as “ill-timed, lopsided and inimical to the unity of the country”.

“Nigerians in general, and the North in particular, are groaning under hyper inflation and unprecedented insecurity, therefore the Presidency should pay more attention to tackling extreme poverty and hunger, especially in the northern part of the country.

“This tax reform bill is not the solution to our economic challenges. Kano State stands firmly against any policy that negatively affects the welfare of our people,” the deputy governor declared, drawing resounding applause from the crowd.
