The Speaker of the House of Representatives, Hon. Abbas Tajudeen, has stated that the 2025 Appropriation and Tax Reforms Bills currently before the National Assembly are key priorities for Parliament in 2025.
He also highlighted that the ongoing review of the 1999 Constitution will tackle critical structural, systemic, and foundational issues in the nation.
In his welcome address during the National Assembly’s resumption from the Christmas and New Year break on Tuesday, Speaker Abbas reaffirmed the 10th House’s dedication to legislative actions aimed at addressing the country’s socio-economic and political challenges.
The Speaker, in the address delivered on his behalf by the Deputy Speaker, Rt. Hon. Benjamin Okezie Kalu, said: “Our legislative agenda for 2025 prioritises the passage of the Appropriation Bill and the Tax Reform Bills, both of which are pivotal to economic recovery and fiscal stability. These reforms are essential for broadening the tax base, improving compliance, and reducing dependency on external borrowing. The House will ensure that these reforms are equitable and considerate of the needs of all Nigerians, particularly the most vulnerable.”
Speaker Abbas said as the House engages with the 2025 budget of the Federal Government and other legislative priorities, “we must remain meticulous in our scrutiny, ensuring that every proposal aligns with national objectives and delivers tangible benefits to the citizenry.”
