MSSN Warns Tax Plans May Hurt Public Trust

In Nigeria, concerns over proposed tax reforms took centre stage as the Muslim Students’ Society of Nigeria raised alarm over how recent government policies could affect public trust.

The warning came during the opening of the society’s B-Zone Islamic Vacation Course held in Ogun State.
The caution was issued by the national leadership of the MSSN, led by its president, Mallam Tajudeen Mustapha, who spoke on behalf of the organisation. The group represents Muslim students across the country and often speaks on national and social issues.

The concerns were voiced at the proposed permanent site of Al-Ummah University along the Ibadan–Lagos Expressway, where delegates gathered for the annual programme. Participants came from several southern states, reflecting wide interest in the issues discussed.
The society said policies seen as unfair or lacking balance could weaken citizens’ confidence in government, especially at a time when Nigerians are facing economic strain, insecurity, and leadership challenges. It warned that public doubt grows when people feel excluded from decisions that affect their lives.

According to the MSSN, taxation is not the main problem but rather how public funds are handled. The group stressed that when people doubt transparency and accountability, they become less willing to support reforms, no matter the intentions behind them.
The society urged the federal government to ensure fairness, openness, and inclusion in policy decisions, noting that trust can only be rebuilt through responsible leadership. The warning comes as Nigeria prepares for a new tax system set to begin in January 2026, a move that has continued to stir debate nationwide.
