Taiwo Oyedele, Chairman of the Presidential Committee on Fiscal Policy and Tax Reforms, has dismissed claims that bank accounts without a Tax Identification Number (TIN) will be frozen or automatically debited from January 1, 2026.
He described the reports as misinformation, stressing that no such provisions exist in the new tax laws and urged Nigerians to verify claims rather than panic.
Nigerian social critic and commentator Scott Iguma has called on the government to urgently install CCTV cameras on major roads across Lagos, citing troubling scenes he said he has personally witnessed in recent days.
Iguma revealed that within a short period, he came across at least three bodies lying on major roads, with no immediate information on how the victims died or who was responsible. He described the situation as deeply alarming, particularly in a city as busy and economically important as Lagos.
According to him, some of the cases appeared to be hit-and-run incidents, while one body seemed to have been on the road for an extended period, raising concerns about delayed emergency response and poor investigation.
Iguma argued that the lack of surveillance infrastructure makes it extremely difficult to track accidents, identify perpetrators, or establish the facts surrounding road-related deaths. He stressed that CCTV cameras should no longer be seen as a luxury but as an essential public safety tool.
He urged authorities to take immediate action, warning that continued inaction could further endanger lives on Lagos roads.
