The Osun Masterminds (TOM), a civil society organization based in Osun, has urged the Federal Government to reconsider its tax policy scheduled to take effect on January 1, 2026, emphasizing that this policy is causing anxiety among citizens.

The Society made this known through its Executive Director, Wasiu Oyedokun-Alli, while speaking with newsmen at this month’s State of the State address, where he noted that there has been a certain conflicting narrative around the policy even from the committee.

The Society also called on the Federal Government to create more palliative programs aimed at cushioning the hardship in the land, adding that they are in support of Socio-Economic Rights and Accountability Project, SERAP’s decision to hold states accountable over the removal of the fuel subsidy fund.

While acknowledging the reduction in fuel price, the society also called for intensified efforts towards ensuring petrol price crashes further ease pressure on average citizen.
