Mr. Taiwo Oyedele, Chairman of the Presidential Committee on Fiscal Policy and Tax Reforms, has formally presented the Nigeria Tax Reform Acts to President Bola Ahmed Tinubu at the President’s residence in Lagos.
The presentation took place on Friday, December 26, 2025, with senior government officials in attendance, including the Chief of Staff to the President, Rt. Hon. Femi Gbajabiamila; Chairman of the National Tax Policy Implementation Committee, Joseph Tegbe; and Chairman of the Federal Inland Revenue Service (FIRS), Mr. Zacch Adedeji.
The Tax Reform Acts — the outcome of extensive review and work by the Presidential Committee — aim to overhaul Nigeria’s tax laws and fiscal structure. The reforms are designed to harmonise tax administration, reduce the multiplicity of taxes, improve compliance, and strengthen government revenue generation.
Photographs from the event showed Oyedele handing the documents directly to President Tinubu, highlighting the administration’s push to implement the new tax framework ahead of its scheduled roll-out.
The Nigeria Tax Reform Acts are expected to be implemented nationwide from January 1, 2026, in line with the Federal Government’s fiscal calendar and broader economic reform agenda.
