Senator Akpabio addressed the National Assembly, confirming the accuracy of the new tax laws signed by President Tinubu. He refuted allegations of discrepancies between the gazetted version and the legislation passed by lawmakers, asserting that the final text accurately reflects the decisions made during legislative proceedings.

Akpabio emphasized that the gazetted version incorporates the agreements reached during the harmonization process between the Senate and the House of Representatives. He warned against relying on unofficial sources for information and urged lawmakers to avoid misinformation.

The tax reform act underwent extensive consideration in both chambers before receiving the President's assent and subsequent gazetting. Akpabio directed the Senate clerk to distribute certified copies of the tax reform act to ensure clarity and adherence to the authentic legislative process.
