Nigeria's labor group demands withdrawal of controversial tax bills, calling for inclusive national dialogue.

The Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) has demanded the withdrawal of President Bola Tinubu's Tax Reform Bills from the National Assembly, criticizing them as controversial and harmful to economic growth, especially in the north. NLC President Joe Ajaero called for a new tax law through inclusive national dialogue and urged the government to prioritize citizen welfare, industrial peace, and adherence to the 2024 National Minimum Wage Act. The NLC plans a national dialogue in Ibadan this January to co-create a new tax framework.
