In a landmark move toward governmental transparency, the National Assembly has proactively addressed public concerns about potential discrepancies in recently signed tax legislation.

Director of Information Bullah Bi-Allah announced Thursday that the Assembly will release certified copies of tax bills, enabling citizens to independently verify official documentation.

The announcement comes after Representative Abdulsamad Dasuki raised questions about differences between bills passed by the National Assembly and their gazetted versions. Four critical tax-related laws signed by President Bola Tinubu on June 26, 2025 - including the Nigeria Tax Act and Nigerian Tax Administration Act - are under careful review.

To strengthen institutional integrity, the Assembly has implemented several critical steps. These include routing all future bills through presidential liaison officers and ensuring that only the Clerk of the National Assembly can initiate gazetting processes. The move signals a commitment to preventing potential documentation inconsistencies.

A seven-member investigative committee has been established to thoroughly examine the alleged inconsistencies. Despite ongoing review, President Tinubu emphasized that law implementation will proceed as originally scheduled on January 1st.

The President underscored the importance of building public trust through measured, principled actions. 'Absolute trust is built over time through making the right decisions, not through premature, reactive measures,' Tinubu stated, reaffirming his administration's dedication to due process.

The National Assembly's transparent approach demonstrates a significant commitment to accountability, inviting public participation in governmental processes and reinforcing democratic principles of openness and verification.
