The House of Representatives will today (February 12, 2025) discuss the four tax bills presented to the National Assembly by President Bola Tinubu in 2024.

It will be recalled that on September 3, 2024, Tinubu submitted the four tax reform bills to the National Assembly for review, following recommendations from the Taiwo Oyedele-led Presidential Committee on Fiscal Policy and Tax Reforms.
