The Lagos Chamber of Commerce and Industry (LCCI) has expressed concern that the proposed Sugar-Sweetened Beverage (SSB) Tax Bill passed by the Senate could increase costs for manufacturers and consumers.
In a statement on Monday, the Director-General of the LCCI, Chinyere Almona, said while efforts to address public health concerns linked to excessive sugar consumption are important, policy measures should be designed to avoid placing additional strain on businesses and consumers.
