The Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) on Thursday urged Nigerians to reject any tax law that “was distorted or falsified.”
President of the NLC, Joe Ajaero, in his 2025 Christmas message, stated that distortions and alleged forgery associated with certain tax policies undermine credibility and public trust.
Ajaero said, “Together, in this season and beyond, we must insist on Tax Justice where the rich pay their fair share and all forms of regressive taxation are removed.
“Any tax system that is mired in apparent distortion and outright forgery is unacceptable and should therefore be rejected by all.
“It is better to patiently craft a law that is broadly crafted and owned than rush into one filled with serious errors and outright political manipulations,” the NLC President said.
He also urged Nigerians to remain united in demanding equitable governance and reiterated its commitment to mobilising workers to resist policies that worsen economic hardship.
