Rights group asks Tinubu to order publication of certified tax laws and bills for public scrutiny.

SERAP calls for an independent judicial panel to investigate alleged post-legislative alterations.
The Socio-Economic Rights and Accountability Project (SERAP) has urged President Bola Tinubu to direct the Attorney General of the Federation and Minister of Justice, Lateef Fagbemi (SAN), to publish certified true copies of tax bills received from the National Assembly and the tax laws signed into law.
SERAP said the request followed allegations that the versions of tax bills passed by lawmakers differed from the laws eventually gazetted by the Federal Government.

In a statement issued on Sunday and signed by its Deputy Director, Kolawole Oluwadare, the organisation said it formally made the demand in a Freedom of Information (FOI) letter dated December 20, 2025.
The group listed the documents sought to include the National Revenue Service (Establishment) Act, Joint Revenue Board of Nigeria (Establishment) Act, Nigeria Tax Administration Act, and the Nigeria Tax Act.
SERAP also asked President Tinubu to direct the Attorney General to clarify whether the tax bills transmitted by the National Assembly were identical to the versions signed into law and later gazetted.
According to the organisation, publishing certified copies of both the bills received from lawmakers and the final laws would allow Nigerians to independently examine the documents and verify their consistency.
The rights group further called on the President to set up an independent panel of inquiry, to be headed by a retired Supreme Court or Court of Appeal justice, to investigate claims that material alterations were made to the laws after legislative passage.
SERAP warned that any unlawful modification of the tax laws would violate the 1999 Constitution (as amended), international human rights obligations, and the principles of the rule of law and separation of powers.
It added that failure to act within seven days of receiving the letter would compel the organisation to initiate legal action in the public interest.
The demand follows a point of privilege raised on December 17 by Abdussamad Dasuki (PDP, Sokoto) in the House of Representatives, drawing attention to alleged inconsistencies between harmonised tax bills approved by lawmakers and the versions later gazetted by the Federal Government.
