The Nigeria Customs Service has expressed opposition to certain sections of the proposed Tax Reform Bills during a National Assembly public hearing, arguing that specific clauses conflict with the Customs Act of 2023 and that it is too early to repeal a law enacted less than two years ago. In response, the Senate Committee on Finance pledged to carefully review all stakeholder submissions during an upcoming retreat to craft a workable, nationally accepted law designed to support the administration's goal of achieving a one trillion dollar economy. Meanwhile, other key officials and lawmakers welcomed the broad public engagement, noting that the legislative process has successfully navigated regional divides and addressed initial concerns raised by state governors.
