Kano Lawmaker Jibrin Advocates for Tinubu’s Tax Reform Amidst Northern Opposition

Jibrin Pledges to Push Tinubu’s Tax Reform Against Northern Resistance

Kano lawmaker Jibrin has expressed his commitment to pushing for the passage of President Tinubu’s tax reform bills, which have been opposed by Northern governors, lawmakers, and monarchs.

These reforms, which include changes to the Value-Added Tax (VAT) distribution model, have sparked controversy, particularly from Northern leaders who argue that the proposed shift to a derivation-based VAT system could disadvantage their region.

Despite this opposition, Jibrin has vowed to champion the bills, emphasizing their importance for national economic development.

The bills are designed to streamline tax administration, increase efficiency, and address inefficiencies in the current system.
