Secretary to the Government of the Federation (SGF), George Akume, has clarified that the Tax Reform Bill introduced by his principal, President Bola Tinubu is a visionary legislation designed to rescue the nation’s economy.
He made this known while featuring on TVC programme, Politics on Sunday, where he stressed that the reform was in the best interest of Nigeria and its citizens.
While urging Nigerians to support the passage of the bill in the National Assembly, Akume added that President Tinubu has not lost public goodwill despite the introduction of the reform and other strategic economic measures implemented over the past 17 months.
Speaking during the interview, the SGF said, “These bills are well-envisioned for Nigeria and Nigerians. Let us allow the legislative processes to take their course. These reforms will ultimately benefit everyone when fully implemented.”

He went on to state that Tinubu’s decision to remove fuel subsidies and harmonize foreign exchange were key steps in stabilizing Nigeria’s economy.
“It is easy to destroy but difficult to build. These reforms aim to rebuild the Nigeria that was destroyed by previous administrations,” Akume further remarked.
He further expressed optimism that the results of those measures would soon be visible, restoring confidence in the nation’s economic trajectory.
