The Executive Chairman of the Nigeria Revenue Service (NRS), Zacch Adedeji, has stressed that the integration of technology into revenue systems is essential to reforming Nigeria’s tax administration and improving efficiency.
Adedeji made this known on Monday at the stakeholder engagement forum organised by the Federal Capital Territory Internal Revenue Service in Abuja, themed “Harmonising revenue systems and implementing new tax laws.”
Represented by the Executive Secretary of the Joint Revenue Board, Olusegun Adesokan, Adedeji said technology would play a central role in implementing the new tax laws by promoting transparency, accountability, and operational efficiency.
He urged tax authorities at sub-national levels to adopt the new framework and embrace digital tools to strengthen compliance and block revenue leakages.
Adedeji commended the FCT-IRS for convening the high-level stakeholders’ meeting, describing it as timely and necessary to align with ongoing fiscal reforms aimed at redefining compliance and enhancing tax administration nationwide.
He added that the reforms would help build a transparent, efficient, and collaborative tax ecosystem capable of accelerating infrastructure development and economic growth in the FCT and across the country.
According to him, the broader fiscal and tax reforms being implemented under the leadership of Bola Tinubu are designed to reposition Nigeria’s revenue architecture to ensure efficiency, equity, and sustainable public finance management.
