Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>Catholic Bishop of Sokoto Diocese and founder of the Kukah Centre, Most Reverend Mathew Kukah, says the controversial tax reform bills of Bola Tinubu\u2019s administration will end the elites\u2019 financial recklessness.<\/p>\n

Bishop Kukah made this statement on Channels Television\u2019s Morning Brief on Tuesday.<\/p>\n

He urged the Federal Government to ensure that the ongoing reforms lead to the country\u2019s development.<\/p>\n

The bills have attracted criticism in several parts of the country since they were sent to the National Assembly<\/p>\n

Some critics said the bills are targeted against the northern region, with millions arguing they will overburden Nigerians.<\/p>\n

\u201cNigeria is a very energetic country with people that are so eminently gifted and are roaring to soar at any time.<\/p>\n

\u201cHowever, our problem is the inability of states to create enough gatherings to contain the energy, vision, and competing narratives of their citizens. This lack of competitive gatherings often spills over into violence.<\/p>\n

\u201cBut I hear you when you speak about all the issues identified. And I am excited about the issue of tax reform bills because, first, I know nothing about it. But I have started educating myself.<\/p>\n

\u201cAny form of reform at all must get this thoroughly dysfunctional country working again.<\/p>\n

\u201cSo I am excited because hopefully, we can take the time to listen to the conversation about how to avoid and end this financial recklessness, and the irony of Nigerians living by the seaside and washing their faces with saliva.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe reforms should end the narrative of Nigerians living in a country that is so richly endowed but are spectators to the rascality and irresponsibility of the elites who continue to mismanage our resources.<\/p>\n

\u201cSo I\u2019m hopeful that this is the beginning of a very long journey of fiscal management and efficiency that can lead to the growth and development of the kind of country that we envision,\u201d the cleric said<\/p>\n
