The South East and South-South Caucus in the Senate have joined groups of stakeholders, calling for wider consultations on the Tax Reform Bills pending for consideration and possible passage by both Chambers of the National Assembly.

The leader of the caucus, Senator Enyinnaya Abaribe, who made this known to newsmen after a closed door meeting with Senators from the entire five South-Eastern States in his office, said the lawmakers are not against the bills but want further consultations to be carried out on them before full consideration.

Our correspondent, Raliat Adenekan reports that Senator Seriake Dickson from South-South, however, warned people opposed to the tax reform bills to desist from introducing regional, ethnic or tribal sentiments when criticising the bills, as he also called for extensive consultations with stakeholders before the bills are finally considered by the National Assembly.
