National Assembly Orders Review of Nigeria's Tax Laws Amid Alleged Alterations

The National Assembly in Nigeria has mandated a review and re-gazetting of the country's tax laws after reports of alterations to the legislation sparked public backlash. A statement from the House of Representatives spokesperson, Akin Rotimi, on December 26, 2025, revealed that an ad hoc committee led by Speaker Tajudeen Abba has been inaugurated to address the issue and protect public interest.

Hon. Abdulsammad Dasuki of the PDP raised concerns about discrepancies in the newly gazetted tax reform law during a parliamentary session, prompting the review process to ensure alignment with legislative procedures.
