Nigerians Must Reject Every Distorted Tax Law – NLC

NLC

The Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) has urged Nigerians to reject any tax law that is distorted or falsified. The group recently emphasized the importance of inclusivity and fairness in the formulation of fiscal policies, and Nigerians have been reacting.

According to NLC President Joe Ajaero, laws affecting workers must be carefully crafted to avoid serious errors or political manipulations that could harm the majority.

He added that there is an obvious need for Nigerian workers to unite in protecting their interests, wages, pensions and dignity.

His words, “It is better to patiently craft a law that is broadly co-created and owned than rush into one filled with serious errors and outright political manipulations.

We must insist on social justice where all citizens have access to dignity, good healthcare, and quality education; greater equity for workers where labour is justly rewarded and rights are respected; and a safe and secure nation where lives and properties are guaranteed and people can move about their businesses without fear or intimidation.

Our hope of a revival is not passive and it is not a mere wish. It is built on a concrete foundation: our collective power and the action that it can potentiate.”

WOW.
