President Bola Tinubu has established a National Tax Policy Implementation Committee (NTPIC) to oversee the smooth rollout of Nigeria’s new tax reforms.
Naijaonpoint reports that the NTPIC is chaired by Joseph Tegbe and would be overseen by the Minister of Finance and Coordinating Minister of the Economy, Wale Edun.
According to a statement on Friday by presidential spokesperson, Bayo Onanuga, the committee is tasked with relating with stakeholders across the public and private sectors to ensure the reforms are effectively implemented.
In establishing the Committee, President Tinubu emphasised that effective implementation of the Tax Acts is central to the nation’s economic transformation agenda and critical to strengthening public finance management while safeguarding the legitimate expectations of investors and the productive sectors.
The committee, which has the Special Adviser to the President on Finance and Economy, Mrs Sanyade Okoli as Secretary, also has Ismaeel Ahmed, Rukaiya El-Rufai, and other professionals from finance, law, and civil society as members.
President Tinubu emphasised that the new tax laws are key to building a fair, transparent, and modern tax system that supports economic growth and protects citizens and businesses.
The NTPIC will focus on nationwide consultations, public awareness, better coordination among government agencies, and ensuring the reforms boost revenue, reduce leakages, and strengthen Nigeria’s economy.
The NTPIC is expected to enhance revenue mobilisation, minimise leakages, and reinforce accountability, thereby strengthening the government’s fiscal sustainability and national development objectives.
It would be recalled that the federal government has officially published Nigeria’s new tax reform laws in the government gazette, signalling what it described as a historic overhaul of the nation’s fiscal framework.
Naijaonpoint reports that the reforms, which were signed into law by President Bola Tinubu on June 26, 2025, introduce new structures for taxation, administration, and revenue collection.
According to a statement issued in September 2025 by the Personal Assistant to President Tinubu on Special Duties, Kamorudeen Yusuf, the new fiscal regime is anchored on four legislations:
Nigeria Tax Act (NTA), 2025
Nigeria Tax Administration Act (NTAA), 2025
Nigeria Revenue Service (Establishment) Act (NRSEA), 2025
Joint Revenue Board (Establishment) Act (JRBEA), 2025
“These reforms aim to simplify Nigeria’s tax system, support small businesses, attract investment, and strengthen fiscal stability, aligning with President Tinubu’s Renewed Hope Agenda to diversify revenue away from oil,” the statement said.
