Northern Youths Reject Tinubu's Tax Laws, Citing Governance Concerns

The Arewa Youth Assembly has rejected the tax reform laws signed by President Bola Tinubu, accusing the government of implementing the laws through an "ambush" approach. The group expressed concerns over discrepancies between the gazetted version and the publicly released version of the law, warning of serious political consequences.

The tax reform law, set to take effect on January 1, 2026, has stirred controversy, with the group claiming it subverts the democratic process. The youths demand that the discrepancies be addressed to ensure transparency and legitimacy.
