Concerned Northern Elders Criticize NEF Over FIRS Attack in Nigeria
The Northern Elder Forum (NEF) has faced backlash for misrepresenting the Federal Inland Revenue Service (FIRS) and obstructing tax reforms championed by Bola Ahmed Tinubu. The NEF's criticism of FIRS' tax policies has been condemned by concerned elders, warning against sabotaging reforms essential for job creation and infrastructure development in Nigeria.
The FIRS, under Tinubu's leadership, aims to modernize tax systems, ensure fair contributions, and reduce the tax burden on low-income groups. The reforms also include data protection measures and a shift towards taxing wealthier individuals more fairly by 2026.
