President Tinubu said the new Tax Acts underscore his administration’s commitment to building a fair, transparent, and technology-driven tax system capable of supporting economic growth while safeguarding the interests of citizens and businesses. He stressed that the NTPIC will ensure consistency and alignment in tax policy implementation across all tiers of government.
According to the President, the committee will engage widely with stakeholders from the public and private sectors, professional bodies, civil society organisations, and subnational governments. It will also lead public sensitisation campaigns aimed at improving compliance and public understanding of the new tax framework.
A key component of the committee’s mandate includes strengthening coordination among revenue and regulatory agencies to guarantee harmonised enforcement, reporting, and a seamless transition to the new tax regime.
Speaking, Tegbe said the committee recognises the strategic significance of the tax reforms and will work closely with all stakeholders to support the Minister of Finance in ensuring smooth implementation and improving public confidence. He is a Fellow of the Institute of Chartered Accountants of Nigeria and the Chartered Institute of Taxation of Nigeria, with over 35 years’ experience across the public and private sectors, including leadership roles at KPMG Africa.
Other members of the committee include Mrs. Sanyade Okoli as Secretary, as well as Ismaeel Ahmed and Rukaiya El-Rufai. The committee brings together experts from finance, law, tax administration, and civil society to ensure an inclusive approach to policy execution.
