Netizens, Lawmakers, Groups Raise Alarm Over Alleged Discrepancies in Tinubu’s Gazetted Tax Laws Public outrage has erupted across social media and political circles following allegations that Nigeria’s newly approved tax reform laws, signed by President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, contain discrepancies between the versions passed by the National Assembly and the copies later gazetted for public use. The controversy gained traction after lawmakers in the House of Representatives raised concerns that sections of the tax reform bills were allegedly altered after legislative approval, sparking accusations of constitutional breaches and executive overreach. Lawmakers Cry Foul The issue was formally brought before the House when some members alleged that provisions in the gazetted tax laws do not align with the harmonised bills passed by both chambers of the National Assembly. According to the lawmakers, the alleged alterations go beyond typographical corrections and involve substantive changes, inc...

  BusinessFirst News Why Registering as an LTD Will Matter More for Nigerian Businesses in 2026 than Business Name By Essang Rawlings Business Growth Facilitator & Business Development Executive, F1 Interactive 📈 As Nigeria’s business environment continues to mature—driven by digital payments, improved revenue tracking, and stronger regulatory oversight—the way businesses are structured is becoming a strategic decision rather than an administrative one. By 2026, the distinction between operating as a Business Name and a Limited Liability Company (LTD) will be more pronounced across taxation, risk management, credibility, and access to growth opportunities. For founders building businesses that interact with formal financial systems, technology platforms, and cross-border markets, LTD registration is increasingly the preferred foundation.

  Kukah Centre Denounces Misleading Reports, Reaffirms Stand on Ongoing Persecution of Christians The Kukah Centre (TKC) has issued a strongly worded statement distancing itself from media reports that falsely suggest its founder, Bishop Matthew Hassan Kukah, denied the existence of Christian persecution or genocide in Nigeria. In a press release signed by the Executive Director, Fr. Atta Barkindo, Ph.D, the Centre expressed concern over what it described as “selective attributions” and “mischaracterisation” of Bishop Kukah’s recent remarks at two major events: the 2025 World Report on Religious Freedom launched at the Vatican on 21 October, and the 46th Supreme Convention of the Knights of St. Mulumba held in Kaduna on 28 November. According to the Centre, nowhere in Bishop Kukah’s comments did he diminish the seriousness of faith-based persecution in Nigeria. Instead, it reaffirmed that the Bishop has consistently highlighted the alarming rise in targeted attacks on Christian com...
