The Situation Room on Economic Reforms, a coalition of 100 civil society groups in Nigeria, has commended the National Assembly Committees on Finance for conducting a fair and transparent public hearing on the tax reform bills. The hearing brought together individuals, government agencies, private entities, and other stakeholders to contribute to the legislative process. Speaking at a press conference on Sunday in Abuja, Barrister Johnson Alli praised the Senate and House of Reps finance committee chairmen, Senator Sani Musa, and Rt. Hon. James Faleke for their high-level transparency and accountability. “The tax reform bills have far-reaching implications for Nigeria’s economic development, and the input gathered during the public hearing will play a crucial role in shaping the final legislation,” he said. Alli noted that Senator Musa’s leadership has been exemplary, and his ability to facilitate dialogue between stakeholders and lawmakers has been impressive. “Under his chairmanship, the Senate Committee has demonstrated a clear understanding of the importance of tax reform in driving economic growth and development.” He also commended Hon. James Faleke for his exceptional leadership skills throughout the public hearing process. “His dedication to ensuring that the voices of Nigerians are heard is truly commendable.” The coalition urged other committees to emulate the example set by Senator Musa and Rt. Hon. Faleke. The Situation Room on Economic Reforms expressed optimism that the outcome of the legislative process will be a tax system that promotes economic growth, reduces inequality, and benefits all Nigerians. “We wish to assure Nigerians that with Senator Sani Musa and Hon. James Faleke, the country is in good hands. We have every confidence that they will continue to work tirelessly to ensure that the tax reform bills are passed in the best interest of Nigerians,” Alli added.
