Peace Advocate, Civil Servant and a Fellow of the North East Intellectual Entrepreneurship Fellowship (NEIEF). #NotAnotherNigerian should suffer from Injustice
The life of Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) is the greatest source of guidance and inspiration for mankind. He was sent by Allah (SWT) as a mercy to the worlds. He embodied patience, justice, humility, compassion and truth in every aspect of his life. He was a perfect model for humanity.
He taught us to love one another, to show kindness even to those who oppose us, to seek knowledge and to uphold fairness in all dealings.
As we remember him (SAW), let us strive to follow his example, to speak with honesty, act with integrity, serve with sincerity and worship with devotion. Truly, success in this world and the hereafter lies in walking in his footsteps.
May peace and blessings forever be upon him.
I speak for every Northerner here. We unequivocally despise every act of terror committed by that known terrorist, Bello Turji. We will collectively celebrate his downfall, just as we did when Boko Haram commander Shekau was eliminated. We do not condone terrorism in any form, we strongly condemn it. Retweet in agreement.
TAX REFORM BILLS!
I have been preoccupied for the past week, having attended the World Halal Summit 2024 as a speaker at the invitation of the Presidency of the Republic of Turkiye. Consequently, I couldn't find time to read and review all the 4 bills, including the Nigeria Tax Administration Bill, 2024. However, over the last 40 hours, I have been reading them, particularly the Nigeria Tax Administrative Bill.
The bill has the potential to transform tax collection administration if improved and implemented in the national interest. Nevertheless, there are critical observations that need to be addressed, including a potential conflict with the Federal Republic of Nigeria's constitution.
Several sections of the Bill make me uncomfortable, primarily because they lack clear definitions, which could lead to significant challenges during implementation. Furthermore, regulatory bodies may exploit these ambiguities when developing their regulatory instruments.
In light of this, I offer two pieces of advice to the National Assembly (NASS):
i) Suspend Legislative Action for now as some of the challenges could not be addressed by the chambers alone. In leadership, the ability to change one's mind is a sign of intelligence and empathy, not weakness; and
ii) Allow for wider consultations on the bills, ensuring that all relevant stakeholders are contacted and any ambiguities are effectively reviewed and addressed.
Specifically, I recommend reviewing the following sections:
1) Section 3(3)
2) Section 7(6)
3) Section 8(2)
4) Section 23
5) Section 28
6) Sections 95, 96,
97, and 118
7) Section 141 (supremacy clause)
I believe that tax, constitutional, and business lawyers, among others, also have a significant role to play in improving the bills. As a policy researcher, I may also commend on the remaining 3 bills later.
Finally, the government must try to address the mistrust between it and its citizens, as our situation as a nation is deteriorating due to this mistrust. Citizens are largely suspicious. Building trust is crucial at this juncture for all arms and tiers of government. We must also prioritise our national interest over and above our personal interests. Issues must also be discussed objectively and critically.
May we continue to serve our country diligently and honestly, praying to Allah to bless the Federal Republic of Nigeria.
