NBA Demands Immediate Suspension Of Nigeria’s Tax Reform Laws, Calls For Probe Over Alleged Alteration

The Nigerian Bar Association (NBA) has demanded the immediate suspension of the implementation of Nigeria’s newly enacted Tax Reform Acts, citing serious legal, procedural, and constitutional concerns surrounding their passage.
In a statement signed by its President, Mazi Afam Osigwe, SAN, the NBA warned that controversies trailing the laws threaten the integrity of Nigeria’s legislative process and undermine public confidence in democratic institutions. The association said the manner in which the Tax Reform Acts were enacted raises troubling questions about transparency, accountability, and due process within the National Assembly.
Pending a comprehensive, open, and transparent investigation into the alleged alteration and procedural irregularities, the NBA insisted that enforcing the laws would deepen legal and policy uncertainty, erode investor confidence, destabilise the economy, and weaken the rule of law. The association urged relevant authorities to act swiftly in the interest of constitutional order, economic stability, and lawful governance.
