We do not talk enough about institutions or agencies in Nigeria. The conversation is often about who holds office, who left, who is performing, and who is not. But if we are serious about building a country that works, we must change that focus. Great nations like the United States, Germany, and Japan were built not only by people but by the systems and structures they established. That is why the Tax Reform Bills is a big deal. Dr. Zacch Adedeji, Executive Chairman of the

The oil sector in Nigeria has always been the topic of the day. Online. Offline. On the radio. Even in public transport. If you want to start a heated conversation anywhere in this country, just mention "fuel." The reactions will start coming in. The price. The scarcity. The queues. The corruption. It's personal for everyone because we have built a whole nation that depends on oil as if it’s the only thing keeping Nigeria alive. We cannot discuss infrastructure, healthcare,

By Arabinrin Aderonke

Chairman of the Federal Inland Revenue Service, Dr. Zacch Adedeji and his team did so much in 2024 that one can't help but wonder what 2025 holds. This is a man who is not only ready to work but also committed to doing what is necessary in the tax sector. But as we start the year, one question keeps coming to my mind: when will the Tax Reform Bill be passed into law? These are bills Nigerians should look forward to and seize the opportunity for, as it can transform how taxes are managed. One

By

Arabinrin Aderonke

Taxation is not just a tool for the government; it is a reflection of the way a country is supposed to run. When taxes are used properly, they can create fairness and drive prosperity. But when mismanaged, they deepen inequality and push people further into poverty.

By

Arabinrin Aderonke

The Tax Reform Bill has become a point of discussion in Nigeria, generating enthusiasm and concern among various stakeholders and the general public. This reform includes four legislative proposals: the Nigeria Tax Bill, which aims to eliminate multiple taxation; the Nigeria Tax Administration Bill (NTAB), designed to harmonize tax processes across all levels of government; the Nigeria Revenue Service (Establishment) Bill, which seeks to rename the Federal Inland Revenue

The new Nigeria Tax Reform Bills introduced several significant changes aimed at improving tax administration, fostering economic growth, and enhancing revenue mobilization.

Your Excellencies, Governors of Northern Nigeria states,

I write to you with a vision we all share: building a prosperous, fair, and united Nigeria. It’s understandable to have concerns about the recent Tax Reform Bill, especially regarding the proposed shift to a derivation-based model for VAT distribution and how it might impact Northern states.

However, looking more closely at this reform reveals opportunities to benefit not only Northern states but also the entire nation.

Tinubu met an economy on the verge of bankruptcy- Explainer

1. Subsidy removal was already done before Tinubu came to power.. Tinubu was ONLY hasty to publicly mention what has been done by the outgoing government

2. Buhari & Emefiele sold crude oil in ADVANCE to collect huge

loans to be paid by the next Govt. So, Obi or Atiku could have been in this same situation if either had won the presidential election.

3. He further said that only 'ONE-THIRD' of the Oil revenue is available for the Government of today because 'TWO-THIRD' of the total oil
