The Tinubu Reforms Advocates (TRA) has commended Rt. Hon. James Faleke, the member representing Ikeja Federal Constituency and Chairman House Committee on Finance, for his support to President Bola Tinubu’s Tax Reform Bills.
In a statement signed by its President, Gideon Unazi, the group said Faleke’s efforts have been instrumental in shaping the conversation around the tax reform bills, which aim to overhaul Nigeria’s tax collection and administration systems.
Unazi acknowledged that Faleke has taken the time to educate his colleagues about the bills, addressing concerns and fostering a deeper understanding of the proposed legislation.
He added that Faleke’s commitment to the President tax bills went beyond mere advocacy, as he took concrete steps to ensure its success.
According to Unazi, Faleke spearheaded efforts to thoroughly brief members of the Finance Committee, which he chairs, on the bill’s provisions, ensuring they were well-equipped to make informed decisions.
Additionally, he said Faleke engaged in extensive lobbying, reaching out to a majority of members across the country, and addressing their concerns, ultimately garnering significant support for the executive bills.
Unazi noted that his tireless efforts have been instrumental in building a broad coalition of lawmakers who now back the bill.
As one of President Tinubu’s most trusted and longest-serving loyalists, Unazi noted that Faleke has consistently used his legislative powers to propagate the President’s reforms and ideals.
According to the group, his dedication to President Tinubu’s vision is rooted in his lifelong study and propagation of the Tinubu gospel.
Unazi said that Faleke’s support for the bills attests to his commitment to Nigeria’s development, and dedication to President Tinubu’s vision.
