Nigerian Students Plan Nationwide Protests Against New Tax Laws
The National Association of Nigerian Students (NANS) has announced a nationwide protest against the implementation of new tax laws effective from January 1, 2026. The protests are fueled by concerns over discrepancies in the gazetted versions of the tax reform law passed by the National Assembly.
Stakeholders, including the Nigerian Bar Association and Nigeria Labour Congress, have called for a pause in the law's implementation. Legal challenges are expected, with human rights lawyers warning of potential illegitimacy issues.
The protests aim to demand transparency and accountability in the tax reform process.
