CNG Advocates Tax Bill Adjustments to Prioritize Citizens’ Welfare

To better serve the interests of Nigerians, Comrade Jamilu Aliyu Chiranchi, National Coordinator of the Coalition of Northern Groups (CNG), has encouraged the National Assembly to take into consideration changes to a tax bill that is presently being reviewed.

Speaking to reporters at the one-day National Women’s Conference at Kano’s Aminu Kano Centre for Democratic Research (Mambayya House), Chiranchi made this plea.

He underlined how important it is that the National Assembly reassure Nigerians that these suggested changes will be given careful thought.

Protecting Nigeria’s interests, especially those of its women and future generations, is the CNG’s main goal, according to Chiranchi.

He urged the legislature to take responsible action and make sure the proposed amendments are compliant with the law. While clarifying the group’s position, Chiranchi noted that the CNG is not opposed to the entire bill but seeks to rectify specific provisions that may adversely affect the nation and its citizens.

He said, “The group is still dedicated to pushing for the necessary changes to make sure the bill serves Nigeria’s interests.”

Salisu Nuhu Muhammad, a former General Secretary of the Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC), emphasized in his remarks the critical role that women play in advancing national development.

Muhammad praised the enthusiasm and dedication demonstrated by women during the conference, noting, “Women are not fragile but have been labeled as vulnerable, though they are indeed the strongest.”
