The Senior Special Assistant to President Bola Tinubu, on Media and Publicity, Temitope Ajayi, has dismissed a claim that the Tax Reform Bill was rushed to the National Assembly (NASS) for an ulterior motive.
Ajayi said the Presidential Committee on Tax and Fiscal Reform, headed by Taiwo Oyedele, consulted with all stakeholders across the country and in all sectors before submitting the Tax Reform Bill report.
In a brief statement on his X handle, Ajayi said it would be disingenuous to downgrade the efforts of the committee and other stakeholders who put in much work to birth the tax reform draft.
He further warned against lingering arguments on the bill, stating that comparing it with the Petroleum Industry Bill (PIB) would not be good for the country’s economic growth.
