January 1 Tax Reform Deadline Non-Negotiable, Oyedele Insists Amid Claims Tinubu Signed Altered Bills
The Chairman of the Presidential Committee on Fiscal Policy and Tax Reforms, Taiwo Oyedele, has declared that Nigeria’s controversial new tax laws will take effect on January 1, 2026, despite mounting backlash and allegations that the documents signed by President Bola Tinubu differ from those passed by the National Assembly. Speaking after a closed-door meeting with the president, Oyedele described the deadline as “non-negotiable,” arguing that the reforms would ease tax burdens for most workers and small businesses. However, lawmakers have accused the executive of tampering with the bills after passage, warning of a breach of legislative process and possible constitutional crisis. As opposition parties, civil society groups, and business owners intensify criticism, the government continues to deny wrongdoing while pushing ahead with what it calls the most sweeping tax overhaul in decades.
