Tinubu inaugurates Fiscal Policy, Tax Reforms Committee

President Bola Tinubu on Tuesday inaugurated a Presidential Committee on Fiscal Policy and Tax Reforms.

The President, inaugurating the committee at the Council Chamber of the State House, Abuja, challenged the members to improve Nigeria’s revenue and provide enabling environment for business to thrive.

President Tinubu remarked that the federal government cannot continue to tax poverty when it is supposed to promote prosperity.

President Tinubu had on July 7 given approval for the establishment of the Fiscal Policy and Tax Reforms Committee, headed by a former Fiscal Policy Partner and Africa Tax Leader at PriceWaterhouseCoopers (PwC), Taiwo Oyedele.

The establishment of the committee was said to be in consonance with Tinubu’s promise to remove all barriers impeding business growth in the country.
