Speaking on the proposed tax reforms, Prof Egbewole said, “As a lawyer, a reform is a reform. It is to look at what they are doing to better the present reform.
“That is exactly what the government wants to do with the tax reforms bill. But that is also in the realm of speculation.
“The bill is still with the National Assembly. NASS is dealing with the issue.
“The political class is also dealing with the backlash. It is not for me to go into.”
