- Friday's statement by Akin Rotimi said the National Assembly leadership directed the Clerk to re-gazette four major tax reform laws and issue Certified True Copies.
- Lawmaker Abdulsamman Dasuki recently raised discrepancies between passed bills and gazetted texts, sparking public commentary on the Nigeria Tax Act, 2025 and related Acts' publication in the Federal Government's Official Gazette.

- The House described the re-gazetting as an administrative authentication of legislative decisions, clarifying it is without prejudice to other arms or agencies of government and urging members of the public to exercise restraint.
- Wider significance: the step is meant to safeguard legislative integrity ahead of implementation as the re-gazetting addresses alleged post-passage alterations and the tax laws are expected from January 2026.
