Federal revenue agencies face shake-up as Tinubu signs tax bills

Published

on

President Bola Tinubu on Thursday signed into law four tax reform bills, declaring that it signals Nigeria’s readiness for modern economic growth and international investment.

Following Tinubu’s assent to four tax reform bills, key revenue-generating agencies, including the Nigeria Customs Service, Nigerian Upstream Petroleum Regulatory Commission, and several federal ministries and agencies, may lose their tax collection mandates.

The development, which establishes the Nigeria Revenue Service as the sole body responsible for collecting federally chargeable taxes, is expected to trigger major restructuring across the federal revenue architecture.

“We have opened the door for new economic and business opportunities. We are showing that Nigeria is truly ready and open for business. Easy in, easy out,” said Tinubu at the signing ceremony held at the State House in Abuja.

The President acknowledged the complexities involved in tax reforms but praised stakeholders for demonstrating leadership and courage through the process.

Commending the collaborative effort behind the legislative process, he added, “What you have provided is leadership and courage in the face of mounting dispute. Nowhere in the world will tax reforms be any easier.”

According to him, the signing marks a turning point in the nation’s fiscal direction: “We are in transit. We have changed the rule. We have changed some of the misgivings. The question of our tax-to-GDP and all other formulas will be obsolete,” he said.

Thursday’s signing comes nearly two years after President Tinubu, on July 7, 2023, approved the establishment of a Presidential Committee on Fiscal Policy and Tax Reforms.

He appointed Mr Taiwo Oyedele, a Fiscal Policy Partner and Africa Tax Leader at PriceWaterhouseCoopers, as committee chairman. It came hours after he signed four Executive Orders, suspending the five per cent excise tax on telecommunication services and the excise duty escalation on locally manufactured vehicles.

The committee, inaugurated on August 8, 2023, comprised experts from both the private and public sectors. It was mandated to retrofit various aspects of tax law reform, fiscal policy design and coordination, harmonisation of taxes, and revenue administration.

On October 24, 2023, Oyedele presented a 30-day quick-wins report to President Tinubu, recommending the merger of over 200 taxes paid by Nigerian businesses into 10. In the months that followed, the committee undertook extensive engagements with stakeholders, culminating in the tax bills presented to the National Assembly in late 2024.

However, the bills faced resistance at the National Assembly and among some state governors, who rejected their passage. The Comptroller-General of the Nigeria Customs Service, Bashir Adeniyi, earlier said that the proposed tax reform bills are in jurisdictional conflict with the NCS and threaten the agency’s existence.

At the NASS, the bills sparked heated debate, particularly around the revenue-sharing structure, which governors from the North opposed. They warned that a shift toward derivation-based allocations, especially with VAT, could tilt fiscal balance in favour of southern states with stronger consumption bases.

After prolonged dialogue, the VAT rate remained at 7.5 per cent, and a new exemption was introduced to shield minimum wage earners from personal income tax.  By May 2025, the National Assembly passed the harmonised versions with broad support, driven in part by pressure from economic stakeholders and international observers who welcomed the clarity and efficiency the reforms promised.

The four bills include the Nigeria Tax Bill (Fair Taxation), Nigeria Tax Administration Bill, Nigeria Revenue Service (Establishment) Bill, and the Joint Revenue Board (Establishment) Bill.

According to the President, “They will unify our fragmented tax system, eliminate wasteful duplications, cut red tape, restore investor confidence, and entrench transparency and coordination at every level.”

Tinubu added that the long-standing burden of Nigeria’s tax structure had unfairly weighed down the vulnerable while enabling inefficiency. Tinubu emphasised that the signing marks the beginning of Nigeria’s tax evolution.

Meanwhile, the Executive Chairman of the National Revenue Service (formerly the Federal Inland Revenue Service), Zacch Adedeji, has announced that the newly signed tax reform bills will take effect on January 1, 2026.

Adedeji, who briefed State House correspondents after Tinubu signed the four tax bills into law, said this would give the administration six months for planning, education, and alignment with the fiscal calendar.

He explained, “Based on best practices globally, because when you have this kind of change, it takes time for all the stakeholders, participant operators, and even the regulator to change the system. So with the magnanimity of the National Assembly, Mr. President, the effective date will be January 1, 2026, by the special grace of Almighty God.”

Adedeji stressed the importance of launching the reforms at the start of a new calendar year, saying, “When you have this kind of change, it’s not what you do mid-year. Because if the application of the law is better, you start from the beginning of the year.

“So effective dates, by God’s grace, will be first of January 2026,” he added. This timeline, the revenue chief explained, allows for adequate sensitisation, planning, and harmonisation with government budgeting frameworks.

For his part, the Chairman of the Presidential Fiscal Policy and Tax Reforms Committee, Taiwo Oyedele, described the newly signed tax laws as “pro-poor,” saying they will ease the burden on low-income earners, small business owners, and everyday Nigerians.

He said, “More than 1/3 of workers in both the private and public sectors will now be exempted completely from PAYE. They will not have to pay personal income tax. Small businesses, over 90 per cent of small and micro, nano businesses, we no longer have to worry about paying corporate income tax or charging VAT or even deducting withholding tax or paying PAYE for their employees.”

Oyedele added that the reforms will leave “more money in the hands of the ordinary Nigerian to take care of their daily needs,” and announced a new zero‑rate VAT framework on essential items.

“Any traces of VAT in food, in education, in medical and health care are now removed completely, so we should see prices of those items come down,” Oyedele explained.

He also emphasised relief for sectors where households spend most, clarifying that “transportation, accommodation and housing is exempt from VAT… collectively account for more than 80 per cent of where Nigerians spend their money. That’s a huge relief for them.”

Appearing as a guest on Channels Television Politics Today programme on Thursday, Oyedele explained that the current system of revenue was opaque, noting that the new system, operated by the Nigerian Revenue Service will require the government to be more transparent and transparent.

“The current system is opaque. And usually, if you’re hiding stuff from me, I need to be suspicious of you. It’s hard to trust you if you’re not open and transparent. That’s exactly what we have today in Nigeria. So, these new laws require that government should be more transparent. There are requirements around the standard of reporting, the timeliness of those reporting, and making them accessible to the public, by the agencies like the Nigerian Revenue Service.

“(We’re changing) from FIRS to NRS, Nigerian Revenue Service. And that Nigerian Revenue Service will then work in collaboration with subnationals,” he said. The chairman explained that the NRS will operate a digitised system that will collect data like National Identity Numbers, phone numbers, and bank information, to prevent tax evasion by high-income individuals.

Oyedele emphasised that the new tax reform bills were designed with three principal objectives in mind, including ensuring that they were people-centric, efficiency-driven, and growth-focused.

Highlighting where revenue would come from, Oyedele said, “Two places where money would come from are tax evasion. We estimate that the tax gap, which is how much we are collecting and how much we could be collecting, is in the region of 70 per cent, so we are only collecting 30 per cent. We want to close that gap. Imagine if we just close it by another 30 per cent, that is double what we collect now.

“Number two is that we have lots of wasteful incentives. They are not just wasteful, they are also distortionary, so we lose money and create problems for the economy. So, we fixed that as well, so that’s money coming to the government without raising the tax on the people. Then there is the one to do with just ensuring that government resources are more effectively utilised. These areas combined will be where we will initially make money from.

“Ultimately, the money will come from the economy growing. If we get 10 per cent of $200bn, it is more than 100 per cent of one billion. That is where the money is coming from. It is not about going to the person who is trying to survive and asking them to give; they have nothing more to give.”

The Chairman of the Senate Committee on Finance, Senator Sani Musa, stated that the newly signed tax reform laws reflect the true aspirations of Nigerians and are the product of broad consultations, especially with stakeholders who initially opposed the reforms.

Addressing journalists at the signing, Musa acknowledged the initial public backlash—particularly from the northern—but said the National Assembly approached the task with balance and diligence.

He added, “With the consultations and the painstaking nature of the legislative processes that we’ve taken, I believe we are bringing out, we brought out bills that seek the aspirations of Nigerians.

“And what are those aspirations, just as has been highlighted by the Chairman of the Presidential Task Force, we consider the less privileged in terms of earnings, and see that we don’t add burdens on them.”

The senator noted that one of the significant breakthroughs of the legislative process was the harmonisation of Nigeria’s fragmented and duplicative tax system.

He said the review also extended to vital sectors such as oil and gas and the Export Processing Zones, ensuring the laws supported industrial growth and competitiveness.

Chairman of the House Committee on Finance, Hon. James Faleke, described the passage of the bills as a once “mission impossible” task made successful through national cooperation.

Faleke commended the efforts of lawmakers, governors, and the Nigerian public for what he called a united effort to overhaul the country’s tax regime. He emphasised that the reforms do not introduce new tax burdens but rather expand the efficiency of collection and plug leakages.

The Nigeria Employers’ Consultative Association on Thursday lauded President Bola Tinubu’s assent to four major tax reform bills, describing it as a significant step towards ending over 10 years of crippling multiple taxation on businesses in Nigeria.

Speaking on the sidelines of the 4th Employers Summit in Abuja, NECA’s Director-General, Adewale-Smatt Oyerinde, said the legislation, which harmonises taxes, levies and fees across all levels of government, was a long-awaited relief for the Organised Private Sector.

“Our immediate reaction is ‘uhuru’, we thank God because we have canvassed this for a long time,” Smatt-Oyerinde told journalists. “The challenges of multiplicity of taxes, levies and fees have been a major issue for the Organised Private Sector for over 10 years.”

The NECA boss noted that while the assent marks a major milestone, the true test lies in effective implementation. “The main work is implementation, and it will come with its own challenges that we are not all aware of right now,” he said. “But we’re happy that he has signed it. The reality for organised businesses in the context of harmonised taxes, levies and fees has begun.”

Smatt-Oyerinde stressed that the issue was not only about tax rates but also the chaotic and inefficient method of collection that had long discouraged business growth.

“The efficiency of tax collection has been a recurring concern for every rational stakeholder. That was why we supported the establishment of the Presidential Committee on Fiscal Policy and Tax Reforms, which did a very humane and consultative job with the bill,” he explained.

He added that the bills are interconnected and were designed to stimulate growth across all levels of the economy, from micro, small and medium enterprises to large corporations.

“You don’t grow from the top. You grow by promoting businesses. Some parts of the reform affect MSMEs, others SMEs, big businesses, and individuals. It’s a chain reaction that we believe will catalyse the entire economy,” he added.

NECA President, Dr Ifeanyi Okoye, in his remarks, echoed similar sentiments, stressing that the reforms must not end with legislation but must lead to practical improvements for Nigerian businesses.

“For over six years, NECA has remained committed to promoting a stable, predictable, and enabling policy environment where all businesses, regardless of sector or size, can thrive,” Okoye said.

He challenged the federal government to show commitment to implementing actionable outcomes from the summit, warning against treating the platform as “another talk shop.”

“This must be a catalyst for the policy coherence and reform implementation that businesses, and indeed, the country urgently need,” he said.

Smatt-Oyerinde further disclosed that NECA had worked closely with the Presidential Committee throughout the drafting of the tax bills and would remain actively engaged with the Federal Inland Revenue Service, the lead agency for implementation.

“We are ready to deepen our collaboration with FIRS to ensure that these reforms work in practice, not just on paper,” he said.

Following the signing of four major tax reform bills by President Bola Tinubu on Thursday, the Special Adviser to the President on Energy, Olu Verheijen, has revealed that the new laws have codified four key executive orders aimed at stimulating investment in Nigeria’s oil, gas, and clean energy sectors.

She said the act has already helped unlock over $6 billion in fresh investments into Nigeria’s oil and gas industry.

Reacting in a post on her official X (formerly Twitter) handle shortly after the presidential announcement, Verheijen described the signing as a “historic moment” and a clear demonstration of the administration’s commitment to driving energy sector reforms through long-term policy clarity.

She explained that the act enshrines into law Presidential Directive 40 and three other key executive instruments. Among the codified executive orders are: Presidential Directive 40: A framework for fiscal incentives targeting upstream, midstream gas, and deep offshore oil projects.

“The 2024 VAT Modification Order: This grants value-added tax exemptions for Compressed Natural Gas, Liquefied Petroleum Gas, and other clean energy products.

“The 2025 Upstream Petroleum Cost Efficiency Order: Designed to reduce operational overheads in the upstream oil sector. Other incentive orders focused on energy transition and infrastructure localisation.

“These reforms have already helped unlock over $6bn in new Oil & Gas investments. With their codification, the administration has delivered long-term certainty and regulatory clarity, ensuring these critical incentives are protected from future policy reversals,” Verheijen stated.

She praised the development as a strategic win for the public and private sectors, stressing that the energy industry now has a legal framework that assures investors of continuity regardless of future political changes.

“Go and Verify”: How Sunday Umeha Is Redefining Representation in Ezeagu/Udi

Published

on

Rt. Hon. Barr. Sunday Cyriacus Umeha has continued to distinguish himself not only as a grassroots politician but as a sound parliamentarian who clearly understands the true essence of legislative representation and public service.

Since emerging as the Member representing Ezeagu/Udi Federal Constituency in the House of Representatives, Umeha has consistently demonstrated capacity, vision, and commitment both on the floor of the National Assembly and within his constituency.

Unlike many politicians whose promises disappear after elections, Rt. Hon. Umeha has steadily transformed his campaign mantra, “Go and Verify,” into practical realities visible across communities in Ezeagu and Udi Federal Constituency.

From road construction to solar-powered streetlights, classroom projects, healthcare interventions, agricultural empowerment, scholarships, boreholes, and youth development programmes, his stewardship has remained rooted in service delivery and measurable impact.

Observers say one of the strongest qualities that separates Umeha from many lawmakers is his deep understanding of parliamentary responsibilities. Through strategic bills and motions, he has continued to show that representation goes beyond rhetoric and political appearances.

Among several notable legislative efforts, he sponsored bills seeking the establishment of a Federal College of Entrepreneurship and Skill Acquisition in Ezeagu/Udi Federal Constituency, reforms in the education sector through the abolition of levies in public basic schools, mandatory insurance protection for NYSC members, and the establishment of a National Football Academy.

He also sponsored motions addressing critical national concerns, including the investigation into the gruesome killing of Nigerians by soldiers in Enugu State and the urgent completion of the Karshi/Apo Road project in Abuja to ease traffic congestion.

Political analysts note that these interventions reflect a lawmaker who understands that effective representation must combine constituency development with strong legislative advocacy.

Many constituents equally commend him for remaining faithful to the promises he made during his campaigns. Across the constituency, residents point to completed and ongoing projects as evidence that the lawmaker has not reneged on his commitments to the people.

Beyond governance and legislative duties, Rt. Hon. Umeha also played significant roles in efforts aimed at restoring sanity, stability, and internal cohesion within the Labour Party before his eventual defection to the APC.

Sources within the political space in Enugu State revealed that Umeha consistently pushed for peace, unity, and institutional order within the party during periods of internal crisis and leadership disagreements. His interventions were said to be driven by the desire to protect the interests of party members and preserve the integrity of the platform.

However, following prolonged internal challenges and unresolved structural issues within the Labour Party, the federal lawmaker eventually moved to the All Progressives Congress (APC), a decision many political observers described as strategic and inevitable.

Despite the political transition, supporters insist that his focus has remained unchanged — delivering quality representation, empowering constituents, and sustaining developmental projects across Ezeagu/Udi Federal Constituency.

For many residents, Rt. Hon. Barr. Sunday Cyriacus Umeha represents a rare blend of grassroots leadership, legislative competence, humility, and political responsibility.

And across the constituency, the verdict from many communities remains simple:

“He promised, and he delivered.”

Published

on

By Okey Maduforo Awka

Gubernatorial candidate Mr John Nwosu and running mate of the African Democratic Congress ADC in Anambra state Chief Ndubuisi Nwobu have stated that despite the deoature of Mr Peter Obi, and Alhaji Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso,the party is still intact and would run it’s full course in the 2027 general election.

The duo however lamented that the deoature of Obi is indeed painful but was quick to add that the party must forge ahead .

He said as leaders, Obi and Kwankwaso and other key chieftains of the ADC who suddenly left to the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC) would have waited to resolve the problems the ADC is facing when it mattered most rather than taking a swift to another fold.

Chief Nwobu bared his mind and feelings of other stakeholders of the ADC while briefing newsmen shortly after the ADC Anambra Leadership Consultative Meeting held on Friday in Awka the state capital.

He noted with nostalgia that the candidate of the Labour Party (LP) during the 2023 general elections, Mr. Peter Obi could have shown restraint and commitment in the ADC even in face of the party’s plethora of litigations pending before different courts than leaving it unceremoniously with others.

He vowed that despite the development, leaders and members of the State chapter of the ADC are resolute to take the full circle of the electoral battle ahead of next year’s general elections and would get to it to successfully.

Accorisng to him, the National leadership of the party was not given the opportunity to settle down even less than 24 hours before the supreme Court judgment on Thursday last week when news about the detection of those who left the party rented the air waves up till Friday and Saturday same week and finally on Sunday when the news was finally blown to the entire world.

Nwobu disclosed that the opposition ADC in the state at the moment parades about nine House of Representatives and six State House of Assembly aspirants who have bought nomination forms to contest the 2027 elections while more have indicated interest to join the epical race.

The ADC stalwart further maintained that all those who indicated interest to contest the various positions are greatly prepared to run the race with high morals.

“We feel pains that these people left the party (ADC); definitely it’s going to affect the gains of the party. There’s no point saying every other thing. That having been said I am telling you that those who remain in the party are resolute and prepared to run the course.

He said the ADC Anambra Leadership Consultative Meeting reaffirm loyalty and support to the National leadership under David Mark as national chairman and Rauf Aregbesola as the National Secretary.

Nwobu who was flanked by Hon. Christian Okeke, Ven. Chris Orajekwe and Arch. Afam Moma, Samuel Ikefuna, and Reginald Akunekwe and Ben Chuks Nwosu said “the state leaders reaffirm loyalty and support of the ADC Anambra state to the National leadership headed by Senator David Mark and His Excellency Rauf Aregbesola.”

“The meeting resolved to commend the founding chairman of the ADC Chief Ralph Okey Nwosu for the exemplary show of representing the ADC platform as an umbrella body for the coalition and his selfless role In navigating the coalition to it’s fruition.”

“And we wish to affirm that the ADC’s best is from Anambra state and Anambra state will not be found wanting in the efforts of the party to achieve success during the 2027 general elections,” he said.

“For our brothers who has moved on tp other platform, we wish them well. I look forward to a day we will all join hands together to salvage this country,” Nwobu stated.

He explained further that no new leadership has been Inaugurated in Anambra,adding that that it’s unnecessary for somebody to say he or she has resigned as the party is still contending on issues of offices, conduct of Congresses at the Federal High court.

Chief Nwobu stated that the Inauguration of officials elected at Congresses across the states would be made on the 11th of this month.

Enugu, SSDO advance domestic resource mobilisation for climate responsive budgeting

Published

on

By Chinedu Sabastine

The Enugu State Government, in partnership with the South Sahara Social Development Organisation (SSDO), has intensified efforts to strengthen domestic resource mobilisation (DRM) as part of broader strategies to boost climate finance and promote responsive budgeting.

The initiative aligns with the administration’s climate policy framework, which emphasises sustainable development, a green economic transition, and improved fiscal planning.

This was disclosed during a two-day stakeholders’ dialogue on domestic resource mobilisation for climate-responsive budgeting held at Sylvia Hotel, Independence Layout, Enugu and funded by ActionAid Nigeria.

 

Speaking at the event, the Deputy Director of Climate Change in the Ministry of Environment and Climate Change, Nnamdi Arum, said the state has integrated climate considerations across its projects and programmes.

 

According to him, while Enugu continues to benefit from international funding support, deliberate steps are being taken to strengthen internally generated resources for climate initiatives.

“Climate change has been prioritised across ministries in Enugu State. Most projects are now designed with green considerations in mind,” Arum said.

He commended Governor Peter Mbah for appointing Prof. Chukwumerije Okereke as Special Adviser on Climate Change, noting that his leadership has helped translate climate policies into actionable programmes.

Arum added that the government is actively engaging diverse groups, including youths and persons with disabilities, to ensure inclusive climate policy development.

On funding gaps, he acknowledged that despite progress, external support remains crucial particularly in the agricultural sector to enhance food security and affordability.

In his remarks, Research Policy Officer with SSDO, Okechukwu Ajah, said the dialogue aimed to bridge the gap between policy formulation and implementation.

He noted that although Enugu has domesticated its climate policy and action plan, challenges such as weak inter-ministerial coordination and the absence of clear climate budget tagging persist.

“Many agencies still operate in silos, and there is no distinct climate imprint in budgeting across ministries. This affects ownership and effective implementation of climate policies,” Ajah said.

He expressed optimism that the engagement would yield practical, implementable recommendations, stressing the need to move from theory to action.

Ajah also highlighted the importance of youth inclusion in climate discussions, describing young people as critical stakeholders in shaping sustainable futures.

One of the participants, Chidera Ekoh, described the dialogue as insightful, noting that it provided practical knowledge on addressing climate challenges.

“Climate change is already impacting our economy. This programme has equipped us with the knowledge to prioritise challenges and mobilise resources effectively,” Ekoh said
