We are aware of a recent video claiming that the new tax laws will commence in 2027 and alleging the imposition of a 25% tax on funds for building materials and other transactions.

Both claims are incorrect. Contrary to the misinformation seeking to create fear, panic and disaffection, the Nigeria Tax Act 2025 has already commenced and does not impose a 25% tax on construction funds, bank balances, or business expenses. Instead, it contains provisions specifically designed to reduce the cost of housing, rent and real estate development.

Relevant provisions to make housing more affordable, encourage real estate development, and support small business property contractors and low-income renters include:

𝘐𝘯𝘱𝘶𝘵 𝘝𝘈𝘛 𝘊𝘳𝘦𝘥𝘪𝘵𝘴 𝘧𝘰𝘳 𝘊𝘰𝘯𝘵𝘳𝘢𝘤𝘵𝘰𝘳𝘴: Where VAT is chargeable on any materials or service, contractors can now recover VAT on their assets and overhead costs, which lowers overall construction costs.

𝘙𝘦𝘥𝘶𝘤𝘦𝘥 𝘞𝘪𝘵𝘩𝘩𝘰𝘭𝘥𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘛𝘢𝘹 (𝘞𝘏𝘛): A lower 2% WHT rate is applicable on construction contracts, helping to conserve cash flow and reduce financing pressure on developers.

𝘓𝘰𝘢𝘯 𝘐𝘯𝘵𝘦𝘳𝘦𝘴𝘵 𝘋𝘦𝘥𝘶𝘤𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯 (𝘚.30(2)(𝘪𝘷)): Mortgage interest is tax-deductible for individuals developing an owner-occupied residential house.

𝘋𝘦𝘥𝘶𝘤𝘵𝘪𝘣𝘭𝘦 𝘙𝘦𝘯𝘵𝘢𝘭 𝘌𝘹𝘱𝘦𝘯𝘴𝘦𝘴 (𝘚.20): Property owners who earn rental income can deduct related costs such as repairs, insurance, and agency fees.

𝘚𝘵𝘢𝘮𝘱 𝘋𝘶𝘵𝘺 𝘙𝘦𝘭𝘪𝘦𝘧 (𝘚.134): Lease agreements with an annual value below ₦10,000,000 (or 10 times the annual minimum wage) are exempt from stamp duty.

5. 𝑾𝒉𝒂𝒕 𝒊𝒔 𝑵𝑶𝑻 𝒊𝒏 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝑻𝒂𝒙 𝑳𝒂𝒘

The Act does not:
• Tax money in bank accounts or bank balances.
• Tax transfers for buying building materials.
• Introduce a 25% construction or business cost tax.
• Delay implementation until 2027.

𝐂𝐨𝐧𝐜𝐥𝐮𝐬𝐢𝐨𝐧:

Claims suggesting a new tax on building materials or bank funds are false and misrepresent the law. Rather, the new tax law specifically introduced measures to make housing more affordable, promote real estate development, incentivise manufacturing of building materials, and grant rent reliefs to tenants to enhance their disposable income. 

𝐅𝐈𝐍𝐀𝐋 𝐖𝐎𝐑𝐃: 

“Fact Not Fear”, evidence beats emotion. If anyone makes an alarming claim or tries to misinform you, ask them “Where is it in the law?”

With the new tax laws, housing should become more affordable and rent should go down NOT up!

A Reading of President Trump’s Statement on Nigeria

Perhaps comprehension has become a casualty in this debate, but I find it difficult to understand how anyone can claim that U.S. President Donald Trump’s recent statement on faith-based violence in Nigeria aligns with the sectarian agenda advanced by certain groups. Two points stand out clearly in his comments. First, he deliberately avoided describing the situation in Nigeria as “genocide,” instead using the phrase “existential threat to Christians.” Secondly, and crucially, he identified radical Islamists, not the Nigerian state, and certainly not Nigerian Muslims, as the perpetrators of violence. These distinctions matter greatly, as they contradict the divisive rhetoric being promoted by those seeking to pit one faith community against another.

This is not the first time President Trump has raised concerns about alleged one-sided violence against Christians. During former President Muhammadu Buhari’s visit to the White House on April 30, 2018, President Trump remarked, “We’re deeply concerned by religious violence in Nigeria, including the burning of churches and the killing of Christians.” In response, President Buhari, while framing the violence as indiscriminate, acknowledged the challenge of violent herdsmen and cross-border recruits from Libya and the Sahel, and stressed that his government was doing its best to stabilise the situation.

There is a reason that moment remains instructive. Rather than amplifying a narrative of state-sponsored sectarian extermination, the U.S. side identified religious violence as one of several security concerns. The Nigerian side responded by framing the violence as part of complex socio-security dynamics, not as a conspiracy of Muslims against their Christian compatriots.

It also bears reiterating that the claim of “genocide” against Christians in Nigeria does not meet the legal definition established under the 1948 Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of the Crime of Genocide. The Convention defines genocide as acts committed with the intent to destroy, in whole or in part, a national, ethnic, racial, or religious group as such. There is no credible evidence that the Nigerian government is masterminding the destruction of Christians. The origins and dimensions of violence in Nigeria are unmistakable. They are rooted in terrorism, banditry, communal conflicts, resource competition, and, admittedly, weak governance over the years. This does not amount to the state-directed and systematic campaign that the term “genocide” presupposes.

President Trump’s statement, while emotively focused on Christian victims, does not mirror the propaganda promoted by some far-right commentators who claim that the Nigerian government turns a blind eye to attacks on Christians or that Nigerian Muslims are complicit. On the contrary, he singled out radical extremists. This distinction aligns with the Nigerian government’s own position and reflects the sacrifices of its multi-faith armed forces in confronting terrorism across the Sahel and West Africa.

The line between NGO activism and diplomatic engagement is clear. Activism draws its energy from outrage, while diplomacy thrives on dialogue. In this regard, the response of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs exemplifies the restraint and statesmanship required in such a situation. It acknowledges the concerns raised, reaffirms Nigeria’s commitment to religious freedom, and emphasises partnership with the United States in tackling violent extremism, which is the central theme of President Trump’s statement. 1/2
