Abuja, Nigeria – The Federal Government will on Monday formally unveil the Nigeria Tax Reform Acts, in what has been described as one of the most far-reaching restructurings of the country’s tax framework in decades.
The reforms will be presented during a strategic stakeholder engagement session in Abuja, aimed at simplifying the tax system, improving voluntary compliance, and strengthening national revenue mobilisation.
A statement issued on Friday by the Director of Taxpayer Services at the Federal Inland Revenue Service (FIRS), Dr. Lovette Ononuga, said the engagement is intended to broaden public awareness and foster collaboration among government agencies, the private sector and civil society.
“The session aims to deepen public understanding of the reforms and promote collaboration among stakeholders to ensure effective implementation of the new laws,” she said.
The session will provide clarifications on how the reforms will function in practice, including expected implications for businesses, households and revenue authorities at federal and subnational levels.
The Abuja event will host senior government officials, tax policy specialists, development partners and leading private-sector representatives.
Among the key speakers expected are: Taiwo Oyedele, Chairman, Presidential Committee on Fiscal Policy and Tax Reforms, Ifueko Omoigui-Okauru, former FIRS Chairman and CEO, Compliance Professionals, Matthew Gbonjubola, FIRS Coordinating Director, and Tayo Koleoso, FIRS Chief of Staff.
A high-level panel will feature senior FIRS officials alongside Amina Ado, Kabir Abba, Michael Ango (Executive Chairman, FCT-IRS), and Olumide Esan, Partner at Deloitte.
Attendance is strictly by invitation, but the event will be livestreamed on YouTube and Zoom to enable wider participation. The FIRS said virtual access links will be released via its official channels prior to the event.
