The Federal Inland Revenue Service (FIRS) will on Monday, November 10, 2025, officially unveil the Nigeria Tax Reform Acts during a high-level strategic stakeholder engagement session themed “Impact of the New Tax Laws.”
The event marks a major milestone in Nigeria’s fiscal reform journey and reflects the government’s commitment to building a simpler, fairer, and more efficient tax system that encourages compliance, stimulates investment, and supports sustainable economic growth.
The engagement session will bring together senior government officials, policy experts, development partners, and private sector stakeholders to deliberate on the operational framework and broader implications of the newly enacted tax laws.
The programme will feature keynote and technical presentations by the Chairman of the Presidential Committee on Fiscal Policy and Tax Reforms, Mr. Taiwo Oyedele; Chief Executive Officer of Compliance Professionals and former Executive Chairman of FIRS, Mrs. Ifueko Omoigui-Okauru; Coordinating Director of FIRS, Mr. Matthew Gbonjubola; and Chief of Staff to the FIRS Executive Chairman, Mr. Tayo Koleoso.
A high-level panel discussion will also form part of the event. Participants will include senior management of the Federal Inland Revenue Service—Mrs. Amina Ado, Mr. Kabir Abba, and Mr. Matthew Gbonjubola—alongside the Executive Chairman of the Federal Capital Territory Internal Revenue Service (FCT-IRS), Mr. Michael Ango, and a Partner at Deloitte, Mr. Olumide Esan.
According to the Director of Taxpayer Services at FIRS, Dr. Lovette Ononuga, the engagement seeks to “strengthen public understanding of the reforms and promote collaboration among stakeholders to ensure effective implementation of the new laws.”
She noted that the session represents a critical opportunity to clarify how the new tax framework will operate in practice, as well as its expected impact on businesses, revenue generation, and economic development.
Attendance at the Abuja event will be strictly by invitation, but FIRS has made provisions for virtual participation to ensure broader stakeholder inclusion. The session will be streamed live via YouTube and Zoom, with participation links to be shared two days before the event on the Service’s official communication platforms.
The unveiling of the Nigeria Tax Reform Acts is expected to consolidate ongoing efforts by the Federal Government to modernize the country’s tax administration system, close compliance gaps, and position Nigeria for improved fiscal sustainability.
