A former Kano State Governor, Senator Ibrahim Shekarau, and some elite members of the League of Northern Democrats on Friday announced that they had set up a technical committee to review the four bills.
The move was revealed in a statement issued in Abuja by the league’s spokesman, Ladan Salihu.
Salihu explained that the position of the LND was taken following the outrage that had continued to trail the introduction of the bills.
The spokesman, who identified the committee members as northern experts in law, accounting, legislation, and academia, stated that they had been given one week to conclude a comprehensive review of the bills.
The statement partly read, “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 maximise benefits for all Nigerians, ensuring that the tax reforms support sustainable development and equitable economic growth across the nation.”
