Northern Elders Urge Tinubu to Cancel FIRS-France Tax Deal
The Northern Elder Forum (NEF) has called on President Bola Tinubu to cancel the FIRS tax agreement with France, warning of dangers to Nigeria's economic sovereignty and national security. The agreement with DGFiP poses risks of exposing sensitive tax and economic data to foreign interests, potentially leading to economic espionage and surveillance.
NEF emphasizes the need for Nigeria to safeguard its data sovereignty and local technological ecosystem, urging the termination of the MOU to maintain control over the country's tax infrastructure.
