Abuja Left Groups Reject New 2026 Tax Laws, Call for Nationwide Strike Against Tinubu Administration’s “Cruel” Policy
A coalition of left-leaning organisations under the Network of Abuja Left Groups has condemned Nigeria’s new tax laws set to take effect on January 1, 2026, calling them a “cruel attack” on working citizens. The coalition accused the Tinubu administration of using taxation to impoverish Nigerians amid rising inflation and subsidy removals, and alleged that lawmakers altered the laws after passage, showing “criminal intent.” Urging the Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) and Trade Union Congress (TUC) to resist the policy, the groups demanded the immediate suspension and repeal of the laws, citing historical resistance to unjust taxation as precedent.
