Zamfara became the second state after Ekiti to adopt the reforms, followed by Anambra, signaling alignment with President Bola Tinubu’s revenue agenda. The governors emphasized that early implementation will benefit small and medium-scale entrepreneurs by eliminating multiple and overlapping charges.
A statement highlighted that the reforms aim to replace fragmented and outdated practices that led to arbitrary collections, easing the burden on businesses. The changes are expected to boost government confidence, attract investors, and create a better environment for commerce, particularly for smaller enterprises affected by informal levies.
Anambra and Zamfara noted that Lagos, Katsina, and Bauchi are also progressing in adopting the reforms. Last week, the National Assembly corrected forged gazetted tax laws, instructing a re-issue to reflect the originally approved versions.
