NASS will not rush in passing Tinubu’s Tax Reforms Bills – Doguwa
Rep.Alhassan Doguwa, the Chairman, House of Representatives Committee on Downstream Petroleum, says the National Assembly will not rush in the passage of President Bola Tinubu’s Tax Reforms Bills.
Doguwa, who represents, Doguwa, Tudun Wada Federal Constituency at the House, stated this in a statement on Monday in Kano.
He said that although the bills were good for the nation,the lawmakers would not hasten in their passage.
“We will certainly not rush the passage of these bills in order to avoid making hasty legislations or laws that would at the end not be able to address our practical economic realities as a nation.
“We must commend in the first place, the wisdom of the leadership of the house for coming up with this interactive session to further enlighten and clarify the content and intent of the proposed tax reforms bills.
“Building on this good initiative we will continue to hold further consultations at the levels of state and regional caucuses to create sufficient awareness amongst our members and other relevant stakeholders.
“These proposed bills are obviously to do with fiscal federalism as it relates to sharing of resources to federating units and key government institutions,” Doguwa, who is also the Leader, Northern Regional Caucus of the House of Representatives said.
He added:”We must therefore, be careful, to study the bills diligently and consider them clause by clause with a view to making justice to the people and to the bills in the overall interest of the people and the nation.”
