The impact of Nigeria’s tax laws on workers has sparked contrasting views between Senator Adams Oshiomhole, former National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC), and Mr Joe Ajaero, President of the Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC).

While Senator Oshiomhole has argued that recent tax reforms are necessary to strengthen government revenue and support national development, Ajaero has expressed concerns that existing and proposed tax measures could further burden Nigerian workers amid rising living costs and economic pressures.

The disagreement reflects broader national debates over tax reforms under the Federal Government’s fiscal strategy, with labour unions calling for policies that protect workers’ welfare, while government officials and policymakers emphasise the need for sustainable revenue generation to support infrastructure and social services.
