Femi Falana Urges Nigerian Govt to Resolve Legitimacy Issues Before Implementing New Tax Laws

Human rights lawyer Femi Falana criticized the Nigerian government, emphasizing that new tax laws should not be enforced until legitimacy concerns are addressed. Falana highlighted the controversy surrounding the provisions of the new tax laws and urged the government to resolve these issues before implementation.

The government has been advised to ensure a clean copy of the tax laws is available by January 1, 2026, to avoid legal challenges. President Bola Tinubu recently emphasized the need to implement the tax laws by January 1, 2026, despite the ongoing legitimacy disputes.
