CITAD Calls for Transparency Amid Alleged Alteration of Nigeria’s Tax Reform Acts, Urges Suspension
The Centre for Information Technology and Development (CITAD) has raised concerns over alleged alterations to Nigeria’s recently passed Tax Reform Acts, calling for transparency, an independent investigation, and suspension of the laws’ implementation. CITAD highlighted discrepancies between the versions debated and passed by the National Assembly and those published in the official Gazette. The organisation warned that these changes could expand tax agency powers, weaken judicial oversight, and erode public trust. While supporting the House of Representatives’ decision to probe the matter, CITAD urged publication of legislative records, a thorough investigation into the alleged alterations, and a halt to the Acts’ enforcement pending verification. The group emphasised that its stance supports constitutional governance and is not an opposition to tax reforms.
