NOA pledges to simplify new tax law for Nigerians
The National Orientation Agency (NOA) has announced its committment to simplify the controversial tax law.
The Jigawa state chapter of the agency in its New Year’s message on Friday, January 2, said it will adopt a people-centred communication strategy that could help citizens to better understand and equip themselves with the new tax law.
The message signed by Sarah Ogodo, NOA Jigawa’s Head of Media and Communication, congratulated Nigerians for the swift transition into the New Year.
Ogodo said the Jigawa State Director of NOA, Tijjani Ahmad Ibrahim also commended citizens for sustaining peace and unity among each other throughout the past year.
According to Ogodo, the director also commended Nigerians for their resilience and patriotism.
He said citizens despite the economic challenges experienced in the past year, largely attributed to ongoing reforms introduced by the Federal Government to reposition the nation’s socio-economic and political systems.
She assured that Ibrahim also reassured Nigerians of the agency’s committment to amplifying public enlightenment on various government programmes, policies and activities to promote positive public engagement and deepen citizens’ understanding of their civic responsibilities and the role of government.
“The Agency will continue to educate the public in clear and simple terms, especially on tax policies, so that citizens can understand their benefits and comply willingly,” Ogodo said.
In addition, Ibrahim urged citizens to do their best to embrace the New Year with renewed hope and collective commitment to supporting President Bola Tinubu’s administration at all levels to achieve its developmental vision.
The Confederation of African Football (CAF) has announced Morocco as winners of the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations.
The CAF Appeal Board ruled in favour of Morocco, declaring that Senegal forfeited the AFCON final by walking off the field during the game.
Morocco were awarded a 3–0 walkover victory.
This decision upholds Morocco’s appeal following the chaotic events in the match.
DAILY POST recalls that the Senegal team briefly walked off the pitch in protest after a controversial penalty was awarded to Morocco late in regulation time.
They were called back to the field by their captain, Sadio Mané, and later won the game 1–0.
CAF determined that this action constituted a violation of Article 84, or the equivalent regulations concerning refusal to play or abandoning the field.
Under AFCON rules, a team that refuses to continue playing or leaves the field without authorization faces elimination and forfeiture of the match.
A total of three operatives of different security agencies in Anambra State collapsed during the inauguration of Anambra State Governor, Prof Chukwuma Soludo, on Tuesday.
The incident happened during the parade at the Dr Alex Ekwueme Square in Awka.
The three operatives are one male police operative, another male operative of the Directorate of State Services (DSS) and a female operative of the Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps, NSCDC.
The police operative collapsed first, followed by the NSCDC operative, who slumped towards the end of the event and was later escorted to an ambulance, after she refused to be moved in a stretcher.
A source said the police operative was later resuscitated, but was still not stable, and was taken in an ambulance to Chukwuemeka Odumegwu Ojukwu University Teaching Hospital, Amaku Awka.
The collapse of the service officers was attributed to fatigue and the long period of parade under harsh sunny weather.
