Adedeji Assures No New Taxes in Proposed Tax Reforms
Zacch Adedeji, Chairman of the Federal Inland Revenue Service (FIRS), reassured Nigerians that the proposed tax reform bills will not introduce new taxes or raise current ones. Speaking at a session with the Senate Committee on Finance, Adedeji emphasized that the reforms will simplify tax administration and reduce the number of taxes without affecting jobs or merging agencies.
President Bola Tinubu submitted four tax bills to the National Assembly to streamline tax laws, modernize systems, and expand Nigeria’s tax base. Adedeji also announced that the FIRS will be renamed the Nigeria Revenue Service to reflect its broader functions. Lawmakers praised the FIRS for its strong performance in non-oil revenue collection.
It has been reported that Bola Ahmed Tinubu was absent at the commissioning of the Opebi-Mende Link Bridge, which took place on April 8, 2026.
However, Senate President Godswill Akpabio represented the President and carried out the ceremony.
As he commissioned the project, he stated “On behalf of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, I commission these projects.”
