Tinubu Unveils Personal Income Tax Calculator for Nigerians

President Bola Tinubu has announced the launch of the personal income tax calculator.
The tax calculator was launched on Thursday to help Nigerians estimate their tax liabilities under the new tax regime that takes effect in January 2026.
In a post on X, Tinubu said the tool was developed to simplify compliance, ensure fairness, and protect low-income earners.
“With the new tax laws I recently signed, taking effect from January 2026, we have lifted this burden and created a path of equity, fairness, and true redistribution in our economy,” he wrote.
According to him, the calculator allows individuals to compare their estimated tax under the new laws with what they currently pay, highlighting the reforms’ progressivity and transparency.
The president urged citizens to try the tool at fiscalreforms.ng, while calling on Nigerians to have faith in the country’s future.
Recall that Tinubu recently signed four tax reform bills into law: the Nigeria Tax (Fair Taxation) Law, the Nigeria Tax Administration Law, the Joint Revenue Board (Establishment) Law, and the Nigeria Revenue Service (Establishment) Law.
The laws will come into effect on January 1, 2026, and are aimed at restoring fairness in the tax system and boosting inclusive economic growth.

NNPC profit crashes 80%, fall to ₦185bn from ₦905bn

The Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited (NNPC Ltd) has reported a massive decline in its profit after tax, which fell from ₦905 billion in June to ₦185 billion in July, marking a sharp 79.6% drop.

Details of the company’s monthly financial and operational report, released late Thursday, show that revenue in July stood at ₦4.41 trillion, lower than the ₦4.57 trillion recorded in June.

According to historical data, NNPC posted a profit of ₦926 billion in April and ₦1.05 trillion in May, before sliding to ₦905 billion in June. The July result represents the company’s weakest performance in recent months, despite a slight rise in production.

The report also highlighted statutory payments of ₦7.97 trillion between January and June 2025, underscoring the company’s continued contribution to government revenue.

On infrastructure, NNPC said the Ajaokuta-Kaduna-Kano (AKK) and Obiafu-Obrikom-Oben (OB3) gas pipeline projects are progressing, with completion levels at 96% and 83% respectively.

The 113-kilometre portion of the OB3 pipeline has already been commissioned and is transporting about 300 million standard cubic feet of gas per day (mmscf/d) from producers including AHL (250 mmscf/d), Platform, Chorus, and Xenergi (50 mmscf/d).

Upstream operations were reported to be stable, with pipeline availability maintained at 100%.

The company also disclosed that additional subcontractors have been mobilised to speed up the mainline works on the AKK project, while a revised strategy has been adopted to fast-track completion of the OB3 River Niger Crossing.

Despite the profit slump, NNPC said it remains focused on sustaining crude oil and condensate production, enhancing facility uptime, and strengthening collaboration with stakeholders to improve operational efficiency.

“Nollywood now driven by BBL, not passion” – Bimbo Akintola

Veteran Nollywood actress Bimbo Akintola has shared her candid thoughts on the state of the Nigerian movie industry, lamenting that it is no longer driven by passion as it once was.

Speaking during an interview with fellow actress Ayo Adesanya, Akintola criticised the growing focus on physical appearance, makeup, and body enhancement surgeries over dedication to the craft.

She noted that, unlike the early days when actors were motivated by passion and hunger to tell stories, many of today’s stars are more concerned with glamour and outward looks.

“Now, people are saying, ‘My makeup isn’t right for this, and I can’t wear this.’ Is that what the film is about? We are more concerned about our outfits and how we look. This is why, generally, there is a spark in BBL. It is now about looks and not content or what one has. Looks will fade no matter what you do,“ she stated.
