Am I the only one who has noticed how everyone seems to start a conversation with “So, guys…” or just “So…” these days? 😂 Like, why does everyone do it now?

[Bamgbola 🧢 @02smyles]

@AderonkeW Funny, but I observed that too as if we have been in a conversation before now.

The 317-kilometre strategic highway project, flagged off by the Honourable Minister of Works, Senator Engr. Nweze David Umahi, is expected to strengthen national connectivity, boost economic activities, enhance the movement of people and goods, and improve road safety along the corridor.

The Corps Marshal commended the Federal Government’s commitment to critical infrastructure development, recognising the importance of safe, efficient and durable road networks to national prosperity and sustainable development. In his remarks, the Executive Governor of Niger State, His Excellency, Mohammed Umaru Bago, expressed appreciation to President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, GCFR, for the project and reaffirmed the state's continued support for his administration.

As Coordinating Secretary, I have been working quietly behind the scenes to supervise the setup of the Media and Strategic Communication Directorate Secretariat for the APC 2027 Presidential Campaign Council in Maitama, Abuja.

Yesterday, I was thrilled to introduce members of the Directorate to our newly established MSCD PCC Secretariat, complete with workstations, meeting rooms, private offices and interview rooms.

The team is ready. The space is ready. We are ready to roll.

I am delighted to announce that I will be presenting a research paper at the 11th African Tax Research Network (ATRN) Congress, hosted by the African Tax Administration Forum (ATAF) in Kigali, Rwanda, from September 22–24, 2026.

My paper, “The Impact of Communication on Taxation in Africa,” will explore how strategic communication can strengthen taxpayer awareness, build trust, improve voluntary compliance and support domestic revenue mobilisation across the continent.

With researchers, tax administrators, policymakers and development partners from across Africa and beyond coming together around the theme “Contemporary Taxation Issues in Africa,” I look forward to contributing to the conversation on making taxation more understood, trusted and effective.

Another opportunity to learn, contribute and represent Nigeria on a continental platform. 🇳🇬🇷🇼

Three Years of Zacch Adedeji’s Revenue Revolution

By Arabinrin Aderonke

Three years is a long enough period in public service to distinguish between activity and impact. It is long enough to look beyond speeches, launches and promises and ask a simple question: what has changed? In the case of Dr Zacch Adedeji, the answer lies in the numbers, the technology, the laws, the institutions, and even in a building that had stood unfinished for more than two decades. Since he assumed leadership of the Federal Inland Revenue Service in September 2023, Nigeria's revenue administration has undergone one of its most significant transformations, with collections rising dramatically, technology moving to the centre of tax administration and a new institutional framework emerging under the Nigeria Revenue Service.

The revenue numbers provide perhaps the clearest timeline of the transformation. Tax collections were about ₦12.3 trillion in 2023, the year Adedeji assumed office. They rose to about ₦21 trillion in 2024, then reached ₦28.3 trillion in 2025, surpassing the year's target of ₦25.2 trillion. The momentum has continued into 2026. In the first six months of this year alone, the Nigeria Revenue Service generated ₦21.6 trillion, compared with ₦14.27 trillion in the corresponding period of 2025, representing a 49 per cent increase. These figures matter not simply because they represent more money in government coffers, but because they point to a broader shift toward stronger domestic revenue mobilisation and reduced dependence on volatile revenue sources.

What makes the story more interesting is that revenue growth has come alongside a fundamental change in how taxes are administered. Adedeji's tenure has increasingly placed technology at the heart of the revenue system, moving the institution away from processes that depended heavily on paperwork and physical interaction. Rev360, launched in 2026, is a major expression of that transformation. The platform is designed to give taxpayers a more integrated digital experience across key services and interactions with the revenue authority. It is part of a wider digital strategy to simplify compliance, improve data visibility, and reduce the friction that has historically characterised interactions between taxpayers and tax authorities.

The same philosophy is evident in the move towards electronic invoicing and digital fiscal systems. E-invoicing creates greater visibility over transactions, strengthens the revenue authority's ability to verify declarations, and reduces opportunities for under-reporting. For businesses, the long-term benefit is a more predictable, technology-driven compliance environment. The objective is not technology for technology's sake. It is to create a tax system where government can see more of the economy while legitimate businesses can comply without unnecessary bureaucracy. That is a significant departure from an older model in which tax administration was often associated with paperwork, physical visits and multiple layers of interaction.

The policy reforms have provided the legal foundation for this transformation. The new tax laws that took effect in January 2026 brought together a previously fragmented framework and introduced clearer rules for tax administration. The Nigeria Tax Act, Nigeria Tax Administration Act, Nigeria Revenue Service Establishment Act and Joint Revenue Board of Nigeria Establishment Act collectively represent a major restructuring of the country's tax architecture. One key objective is to simplify compliance, clarify responsibilities, and reduce duplication. The reforms also seek to address the long-standing concerns around overlapping taxes and multiple demands on businesses.

While it would be premature to claim that every instance of multiple taxation has disappeared, the reforms clearly point toward harmonisation, greater certainty, and a simpler relationship between taxpayers and government.

FRSC ALERTS MOTORISTS TO FRAUDULENT SMS, FAKE WEBSITE; DISOWNS SCAM MESSAGES ON “ROAD TRAFFIC OFFENCES”

The Federal Road Safety Corps alerts the entire community of the public, particularly motorists, to a fraudulent scheme involving the circulation of unsolicited text messages purportedly issued by the Corps and notifying recipients of alleged “new road traffic offence records” requiring immediate action. The fraudulent messages, which are being circulated through mobile devices and social-media platforms, direct unsuspecting members of the public to a deceptive website designed to impersonate the digital identity of the Federal Road Safety Corps.

One of the links being circulated is “https://t.co/0gyrQmF3YL”, which has no affiliation with the Federal Road Safety Corps. The Corps’ official website is https://t.co/g9ryzRimzT⁠, while its verified online platforms and services are hosted through authorised FRSC digital channels. The Corps therefore unequivocally disowns the messages and the website, stressing that members of the public should not regard such communications as originating from FRSC.

The fraudulent message typically creates a sense of urgency by informing the recipient that a new traffic offence has been recorded against them and inviting them to click a link to “review the relevant details.” The Corps warns that such links may be intended to harvest personal information, financial details or other sensitive data from unsuspecting victims. FRSC wishes to make it clear that no member of the public should click on suspicious links, make payments, disclose banking information, passwords, card details, driver's licence information, vehicle registration details or other personal information in response to such messages.

Members of the public who receive these messages are advised to preserve the evidence, avoid further engagement with the sender and report the matter through appropriate channels.

For the avoidance of doubt, motorists are advised to verify any alleged traffic offence directly through official FRSC channels and not through links contained in unsolicited messages. The Corps maintains official digital platforms for its services, while its published contact channels include the national toll-free line 122 and the official FRSC website, https://t.co/g9ryzRimzT⁠.

The Corps further warns individuals and criminal elements behind the scheme that the identity, name, insignia, digital platforms and institutional credibility of the Federal Road Safety Corps are not instruments for criminal exploitation. The deliberate impersonation of FRSC personnel and the deployment of counterfeit digital platforms to deceive motorists constitute matters of serious concern, and the Corps will work with relevant law-enforcement and cybersecurity authorities to pursue appropriate action against those responsible.

The Corps Marshal, Shehu Mohammed, mni, has consequently directed that the public be adequately sensitised to the fraudulent scheme, while urging motorists to exercise vigilance in their online engagements. He stressed that the Corps remains committed to protecting the integrity of its digital systems and ensuring that technology deployed for road safety administration is not exploited by fraudsters to deceive or extort members of the public.

He therefore calls on Nigerians to “STOP. VERIFY. REPORT.” Any message claiming to be from the Corps should first be verified through the official FRSC website and established communication channels. Members of the public are also encouraged to share this alert widely to prevent unsuspecting motorists from falling victim to the scam; as the Corps will not be responsible for losses arising from engagement with unauthorised websites, links or individuals falsely presenting themselves as representatives of the Corps.
