Renowned lawyer Femi Falana has slammed the brakes on Nigeria's new tax laws, stating they can't take effect due to unresolved controversies over their legitimacy. Speaking in Ilawe-Ekiti, Falana warned the government would face trouble implementing the laws without addressing these issues, saying "there are interest groups ready to challenge the legitimacy of the laws" 😬.
But President Bola Tinubu is standing firm, declaring the laws will take effect January 1, 2026, as planned. Tinubu insists the laws aim to "drive harmonization" and support economic reset, urging stakeholders to support implementation.
The standoff continues, with Falana pushing for resolution before enforcement and Tinubu vowing to work with the National Assembly to address concerns.
