Kukah supports Tinubu’s Tax Reform Bills, explains his reasons

Hassan Kukah, the Catholic Bishop of Sokoto Diocese, has endorsed the contentious Tax Reform Bills that President Bola Tinubu has sent to the National Assembly.

Speaking on Channels Television’s Morning Brief, Kukah stated that the laws might lessen the nation’s elites’ and public officials’ recklessness.

The priest stated that successful changes are crucial to the development of the country and that the proposals, if enacted, might improve fiscal administration and address financial mismanagement in Nigeria.

“This conversation presents an opportunity to address and end financial recklessness,” he said. It is ironic that Nigerians, who live in a nation with abundant riches, are forced to watch the recklessness and carelessness of the elite who mishandle them.

“These changes ought to guarantee the effective use of our resources and contribute to changing the narrative. I hope this is the start of a long road toward budgetary prudence and the growth of the country we all want to create,” Kukah stated.
