LAGOS, Nigeria — Lawmakers returned to the capital this week to debate a sweeping set of policy reforms that could reshape the nation's economic and social landscape for years to come.

The session opened with a clear directive from the leadership: prioritize the people.

The Key Proposals

The most contentious of the proposed bills focuses on tax reform, aiming to reduce the burden on small businesses while closing loopholes for large corporations.

"We must strike a balance between economic growth and the social safety net that protects our most vulnerable citizens."

Another major point of discussion is the proposed increase in healthcare funding.
