He also referenced the newly passed Tax Reform Bills, which aim to ease the tax burden on low-income earners, unify tax systems across all government levels, and simplify the business landscape.
“These reforms ensure fairness those earning more will pay more, while small earners benefit from relief. We’re also cutting red tape to make business easier,” he added.
Salisu emphasized lawmakers’ role in grassroots engagement: “We’re the most accessible face of government. True representation means staying connected and responding to the people’s needs.”
