Pulse.ng : NYCN Rally Behind Sen. Barau Jibrin, Condemns Misrepresentation of Tax Reforms Bills

By Sani Idris

The Northern Youth Council of Nigeria (NYCN), has risen to the defence of Sen. Barau Jibrin, Deputy Senate President, condemning the misrepresentation of his stance on the proposed tax reform bills.

The News Agency of Nigeria NAN, reports that The four tax bills sent to the National Assembly include the Nigeria Tax Bill 2024, which is expected to provide the fiscal framework for taxation in the country, and the Tax Administration Bill, which will provide a legal framework for all taxes in the country and reduce disputes.

Others are the Nigeria Revenue Service Establishment Bill, which will repeal the Federal Inland Revenue Service Act and establish the Nigeria Revenue Service; and the Joint Revenue Board Establishment Bill which will create a tax tribunal and a tax ombudsman.

Addressing a press conference on Saturday in Kaduna, President of the NYCN, Isah Abubakar, said the continued misunderstanding of Senator Jibrin's position is an injustice to him.

Abubakar emphasised that people should thoroughly examine the proposed bill before reacting, emphasising that government policies are subject to change based on time, season, and available resources.

He added that, spreading the perception that the tax reform bills are anti-north are politically motivated and generated by political opponents who are committed to destroying hard earned images.

He criticised Sen. Mohammed Ndume's presentation on the floor of the house, which allegedly presented Senator Jibrin in a wrong light.

"Senator Ali Muhammad Ndume have unlimited access to the Deputy Senate President and should have spoken to him than unnecessary rising an eyes brow.

"Senator Jibrin is as a committed leader of the North, who has demonstrated exceptional leadership skills and raised the bar of leadership in Northern Nigeria.

"His achievements include facilitating the creation of the North West Development Commission and attracting numerous opportunities for the region's development.

"We at the Northern Youth Council of Nigeria are calling for a correction of the narrative surrounding Senator Jibrin's stance, which we believe is politically motivated and aimed at destroying his hard-earned reputation.

"We must come to the reality that things must change. Northern governors must look inwards and become creative around turning things around for good. they must change the way they use public funds for personal business and concentrate on building infrastructure," Abubakar said.
