STATEHOUSE PRESS RELEASE
PRESIDENT TINUBU APPROVES NATIONAL TAX POLICY IMPLEMENTATION COMMITTEE (NTPIC) TO DRIVE COORDINATED IMPLEMENTATION OF NEW TAX LAW
President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has approved the establishment of the National Tax Policy Implementation Committee (NTPIC).
The committee, which Mr Joseph Tegbe chairs, will ensure the implementation of the administration's landmark tax reforms in line with the economic aspirations of the government and the people of Nigeria.
Minister of Finance and Coordinating Minister of the Economy, Mr Wale Edun, will oversee the committee's work.
The Committee will undertake extensive consultations across the public and private sectors to ensure broad-based input into the implementation process.
Its chairman, Tegbe, is a Fellow of both the Institute of Chartered Accountants of Nigeria (FCA) and the Chartered Institute of Taxation of Nigeria (FCIT).
He has over 35 years of professional experience across the public and private sectors, having previously served as a Senior Partner and Head of Advisory Services at KPMG Africa.
Mrs Sanyade Okoli, Special Adviser to the President on Finance and Economy, will serve as the Committee's Secretary. Members also include Ismaeel Ahmed, Rukaiya El Rufai, and others.
In establishing the Committee, President Tinubu emphasised that effective implementation of the Tax Acts is central to the nation's economic transformation agenda and critical to strengthening public finance management while safeguarding the legitimate expectations of investors and the productive sectors.
"These new Tax Acts reflect our administration's commitment to building a fair, transparent, and technology-driven tax system that supports economic growth while protecting the interests of citizens and businesses.
"The National Tax Policy Implementation Committee will ensure coherent, effective, and well-aligned implementation across all levels of government," the President stated.
The NTPIC's mandate emphasises broad stakeholder consultation through nationwide engagements with the private sector, professional bodies, and subnational governments, alongside public awareness campaigns to support effective implementation of the new tax laws.
It also prioritises strong inter-agency coordination by aligning the work of key revenue and regulatory institutions, harmonising existing frameworks with new statutes, and ensuring unified oversight and reporting throughout the transition process.
The Committee comprises experts drawn from tax administration, finance, law, the private sector, and civil society, ensuring a balanced and inclusive approach to policy execution.
The chairman expressed the team's readiness to work diligently in support of national development.
"We understand the strategic importance of these Tax Acts. Our committee will work closely with all stakeholders to support the Minister of Finance and Coordinating Minister of the Economy in ensuring seamless implementation and building public trust in the tax system," he said.
The Minister of Finance and Coordinating Minister of the Economy, Mr Wale Edun, added:
"With the establishment of this Committee, Mr President has not only set the direction but also provided the authority and support required to reset not just the tax system but the entire fiscal policy framework of Government, to deliver significant economic growth for the benefit of all Nigerians."
The NTPIC is expected to enhance revenue mobilisation, minimise leakages, and reinforce accountability, thereby strengthening the government's fiscal sustainability and national development objectives.

This morning, I stopped by AP Filling Station in Maitama, opposite Transcorp, to fuel my car. To my surprise, I noticed the fuel attendants murmuring, so I decided to engage one of them since there weren’t many cars around. I asked what was going on, and the lady told me they had just protested to the management for a salary increase, but their request was rejected.
I gently asked how much they earn monthly, and to my shock, she said they’re paid ₦10,000 per month. I asked if she meant ₦100,000, but she insisted it was ₦10,000. She even called one of her colleagues, and when I asked her, she confirmed it.
Where is the Nigerian Labour Congress when you need them? This is exactly the kind of issue people likes of @sowore, @adeyanjudeji etc should be fighting for, instead of focusing solely on the presidency. Nigerians aren’t even fair to each other.
How do they expect these workers to transport themselves, feed their families, and not be tempted to steal from customers? A big station like Androva Petroleum shouldn’t be paying staff such a disgracefully low salary.
I hope they act fast. I feel genuinely sad for them and pray they get justice as soon as possible.
Nigeria’s President, Bola Ahmed Tinubu became President merely seven months after Burkina Faso’s Ibrahim Troare seized power. Both have spent 2 years in office.
In these periods, Troare has built 3 processing plants (Tomato, Cotton, Cashew Apple), Gold Refinery, and Veterinary Manufacturing unit. He didn’t hold ceremony for the commission of any of them.
Tinubu, on the other hand, has completed and is celebrating 30km out of 700km coastal Highway.
This isn’t fairytale. It is reality.
Africom started their operations in 2007, is this a coincidence 🤔
Before 2007 the attacks were 2%, with their presence it became 43% Make it make sense.
What's happening in Africa right now is not a coincidence, most incidents are premeditated and organised by them. #Africa
@The_Vimbai Your analysis this morning is so spot on. When #Africom was set up in 2007 #Africa's percentage of terrorism globally was 2% then in 2011 #Gadaffi was removed and lo and behold 2024/25 the levels are now at 43% according #USAfricom's head #MichaelLangley. @abati1990
It is so wrong of anyone to measure people's intelligence by their ability to command English Language.
Listen to Akpi speak, and you will like how brave he is.
Under d circumstances in #RiversState can #President Bola Ahmed Tinubu #BAT of #Nigeria under the constitution suspend the Governor and the legislative arm of a State? This is a very precarious and delicate territory and #Nigeria must tread carefully @ARISEtv@ruffydfire
@Nairametrics@taiwoyedele Please correct me if I am wrong, does your Tax Reform Bill plan to create a global tax surveillance system where it monitors all #Nigerian's bank accounts and financial transactions across the world for tax collection purposes? Hmm! If Yes, your bill will not fly
@Rotankwot Roosevelt Ogbonna gave a pointer to #Nigerians on the #ColonialMindset which also applies to the media around how they present business news. d work must start with "hard" reporting and not @bloomberg, @cnbc lookalike reporting that adds no value to Naija @ruffydfire
@DavidHundeyin This whole saga is incredulous and unbelievable. It's like a wild rerun of pre-independence #Africa and the 1960s, post-independence #Africa . I
Crazy stuff!!🤔🤷🏾♂️
Final nail in the coffin for Grangemouth Refinery as 400 Scottish jobs to go despite @Keir_Starmer pledge (dare I say “vow”) a few short months ago.
Scotland must be the only major oil producer on the planet without any refining capacity.
#IndependenceNow
@seunokin@MajeedDahiru has said it all. Western countries, #UK, #US, #Germany have subsidies in place to help 1) their industries or 2) their citizens as and when necessary. These are closed door policy decisions. #Subsidy oils the wheels of economies @Rotankwot@channelstv
"maybe when folks hear from an oyinbo they will listen" - @Rotankwot r u for real? In d current #Nigerian dynamics u continually and openly tell your viewers to diversify into #USD. Don't u understand that the more #Nigerians do that, the more it weakens the #Naira@ruffydfire
