Bauchi State Governor, Bala Mohammed, has urged President Bola Ahmed Tinubu to reconsider any proposed tax reform laws that might deepen regional divisions in Nigeria. Speaking at the opening of the State Executive Council meeting held at the Government House, governor Mohammed stressed on the need for policies that reflect fairness and unity.
He raised concerns about the ongoing discussions around the national tax reform law, which, he feels, may overlook the interests of the northern region. 'As one nation, Nigeria should avoid enacting laws that could potentially marginalize any region,' he said. 'I urge President Tinubu to refrain from approving any measures that could disadvantage certain regions.
' Addressing his cabinet members, he called on them to stay committed to the goals outlined in his administration’s “My Bauchi Project” blueprint, emphasizing the importance of striving for greater achievements. The governor further expressed confidence in the North’s ability to foster economic growth through agriculture and mineral resources, encouraging regional self-reliance.
