    Idowu Akinloye, of the Faculty of Law, Ajayi Crowther University, Oyo in “Appraising the Constitutionality and Independence of The Nigerian Tax Appeal Tribunal”, examines the jurisdictional competence of the Tax Appeal Tribunal and the constitutionality of its enabling statute, the Federal Inland Revenue Service (Establishment) Act 2007, on several grounds including the likelihood that the appointment of members by the Minister of Finance may not secure the tribunal’s independence and impartiality, ousting of the power of the court in questioning the validity of the appointment of the members offends section 4(8) of the 1999 Constitution, and adjudicating on taxation of companies offends section 251(1) of the Constitution that vests exclusive jurisdiction in such matters in the Federal High Court.
