Position of the House on Issues Surrounding the Tax Reform Laws

Abuja, FCT | Friday, December 26, 2025 – Recent public commentary has focused on the legislative process relating to the passage, presidential assent, and publication in the Official Gazette of the Federal Government of the following Acts: the Nigeria Tax Act, 2025; the Nigeria Tax Administration Act, 2025; the Joint Revenue Board of Nigeria (Establishment) Act, 2025; and the Nigeria Revenue Service (Establishment) Act, 2025.

The commentary has raised issues concerning the harmonisation of Bills passed by the Senate and the House of Representatives, the documentation transmitted for Presidential assent, and the versions of the Acts subsequently published in the Official Gazette.

The House of Representatives wishes to assure the public that these matters are being addressed strictly within the constitutional and statutory remit of the National Assembly. Only last week, the House constituted a seven-man Ad Hoc Committee on the matter after an Honourable Member raised it under a Point of Order (Privileges). The Ad Hoc Committee, alongside other relevant Committees of the National Assembly, working in collaboration with the Management of the National Assembly, is undertaking an institutional review to establish the sequence of events and to identify any factors that may have contributed to the circumstances surrounding the legislative and administrative handling of the Acts. This includes a careful examination of any lapses, irregularities, or external interferences, should any be established. The review is being conducted in full conformity with the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, the Acts Authentication Act, Cap. A4, Laws of the Federation of Nigeria, the Standing Orders of both Chambers, and established parliamentary practice.

In the course of this review, and in the interest of clarity, accuracy, and the integrity of the legislative record, the leadership of the National Assembly, under the President of the Senate, Distinguished Senator Godswill Obot Akpabio, GCON, and the Speaker of the House of Representatives, Rt. Hon. Abbas Tajudeen, PhD, GCON, has directed the Clerk to the National Assembly to re-gazette the Acts and issue Certified True Copies of the versions duly passed by both Chambers of the National Assembly. This administrative step is intended solely to authenticate and accurately reflect the legislative decisions of the National Assembly.

This review is strictly confined to institutional processes and procedures. It does not constitute, imply, or concede any defect in the exercise of legislative authority by the House of Representatives or the Senate. It is undertaken without prejudice to the powers, functions, or actions of any other arm or agency of government, and without prejudice to any rights, obligations, or legal processes arising under the Constitution or any other applicable law.

The House of Representatives, under the leadership of the Speaker, Rt. Hon. Abbas Tajudeen, PhD, GCON, remains firmly committed to the principles of constitutionalism, separation of powers, due process, and the supremacy of the rule of law. Where procedural or administrative refinements are identified, appropriate corrective measures will be taken in accordance with the law and established parliamentary conventions.

Members of the public are respectfully urged to allow the National Assembly’s institutional processes to proceed without speculation or conjecture. The leadership of the House of Representatives remains committed to transparency, accountability, and the faithful discharge of its constitutional responsibility as custodian of the legislative authority of the Federal Republic of Nigeria.

Further information will be provided as may be necessary.

Signed:

Rep. Akin Rotimi, mnipr
House Spokesman / Chairman,
House Committee on Media and Public Affairs

Nigeria is like a skyscraper hastily built without proper planning, poor materials, and cheap labor, all overseen by greedy engineers who cared only about their own profit — not the wellbeing of the landlord or its occupants.

Written by,  Moses O Igharo  This skyscraper has a weak foundation and is riddled with cracks. The builders never intended to create a safe, lasting structure; their goal was to keep the building standing just enough to continue extracting wealth from the landlord and the people inside, regardless of the suffering it causes. Instead of tearing down this unsafe building and rebuilding it properly with solid foundations, expert design, and local professionals who understand its needs, the landlord has been advised only to keep pouring money into cosmetic repairs every few years. Billions are spent on paint, patchwork, and temporary fixes, while over 200 million occupants remain trapped inside, hoping these surface treatments will prevent collapse. The reality is grim. The building continues to deteriorate, and its collapse is inevitable. Yet, rather than facing this truth, the occupants are told to seek refuge in prayers and spiritual rituals, diverting attention from the struct...
