Nigeria’s Tax Committee Strengthens Stakeholder Engagement for Smooth Implementation of New Tax Laws
The National Tax Policy Implementation Committee (NTPIC) has intensified efforts to ensure the effective rollout of Nigeria’s newly enacted tax laws through strategic stakeholder engagements. A recent high-level consultative session brought together leading tax advisory firms, professional bodies, and institutional representatives to discuss operational alignment and implementation priorities.
Chairman of the NTPIC, Mr. Joseph Tegbe, highlighted that the success of the reforms depends not only on robust policy design but also on effective change management. He stressed that transparent communication and building public trust are essential to ensuring broad acceptance and smooth enforcement of the new laws.
The meeting also focused on collaboration with sub-national governments through the Joint Revenue Board and other relevant institutions. Tegbe reaffirmed the Committee’s commitment to harmonising interpretations, building capacity, and aligning tax administration across federal and state levels, ensuring consistency and fairness.
Participants welcomed the reforms, describing them as structural and timely. They emphasized that implementation should go hand-in-hand with clear operational guidelines and simplified public education strategies, highlighting the impact of reforms on individuals, small businesses, and corporations while reinforcing principles of proportionality and national development.
Concluding the session, Tegbe thanked participants for their insights and reiterated the Committee’s dedication to structured consultation and timely resolution of concerns. He was joined by key members of the NTPIC, including Barrister Ismael Ahmed, Chairman of the Stakeholder Engagement Subcommittee, and Mr. Ajibola Olomola, Chairman of the Technical Subcommittee.
