The Senate has put to rest lingering controversy over the Tax Reform Acts, declaring that none of the four laws has been adulterated.
President of the Senate, Godswill Akpabio, gave the clean bill of health during plenary, insisting that the Acts currently in the custody of the National Assembly are exactly the versions passed by both chambers and signed into law by President Bola Tinubu.
The Red Chamber had passed the tax reform bills as separate legislations in May last year, with concurrence from the House of Representatives. President Tinubu assented to them in June.
To reinforce transparency, he directed the Clerk of the Senate, Emmanuel Odo, to distribute certified copies of the Acts to all senators for scrutiny.
