A committee headed by the League of Northern Democrats, or LND, has been formed by Northern leaders to examine the four Tax Reform Bills that President Bola Tinubu has sent to the National Assembly.
According to Anaedoonline.ng, the group supported the Northern governors’ decision last month to reject the planned tax measures, which have caused controversy nationwide. Many Northerners feel that the proposed reforms will make the region further poorer.
The committee was established, according to the League of Northern Democrats, to review the proposed law clause by clause and reach a well-informed opinion on each section.

Ladan Salihu, the group’s spokesperson, said the initiative demonstrates their dedication to making sure that laws uphold the values of equity, justice, and prosperity for all Nigerians.
“The committee, composed of dedicated Northern experts in law, public accounting, legislation, and academia, has taken to itself one week to conclude a comprehensive review of the bills,” he said.
Among the committee’s duties include detecting potentially damaging or unfair sections, proposing appropriate revisions, and making sure that each clause promotes justice and national unity while being consistent with the people’s constitutional, religious, and cultural values.
“At the conclusion of its assignment, the committee will publicly present its findings in an electronic and tabular format, effectively communicating its recommendations to policymakers, legislators, the media and the Nigerian public.
“The LND assures the public of our confidence in the committee’s ability to produce thorough and well-reasoned recommendations. These will aim to maximize benefits for all Nigerians, ensuring that the tax reforms support sustainable development and equitable economic growth across the nation.
