Northern Governors Receive Tax Reform Proposal from Adamu Garba
Former Nigerian presidential aspirant Adamu Garba has written an open letter to Northern Governors, urging them to prioritize tax reform bills in their governance agenda.
Garba emphasized the need for restructuring the region’s tax policies to promote economic self-reliance and reduce over-dependence on federal allocations.
In his letter, Garba reportedly highlighted how effective taxation systems could drive local economic growth by fostering entrepreneurship, attracting investments, and ensuring adequate funding for public services.
He also called for reforms that would promote fairness and inclusivity in the tax system, arguing that it would encourage citizens’ participation in governance and development.
Garba’s proposal comes amid discussions on fiscal federalism and economic diversification in Nigeria, with growing calls for states to harness local resources and revenue streams.
His advocacy aligns with broader national conversations about reducing economic disparities between regions.
