President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has approved the establishment of the National Tax Policy Implementation Committee (NTPIC) to drive the rollout of his administration’s newly enacted tax reforms.
According to a statement from the Presidency, seasoned financial strategist Joseph Tegbe—FCA, FCTI—will chair the committee. The Special Adviser to the President on Finance and Economy, Mrs. Sanyade Okoli, has been appointed secretary.
Other members include Ismaeel Ahmed, Rukaiya El-Rufai and several distinguished professionals across key sectors. The Minister of Finance and Coordinating Minister of the Economy, Wale Edun, will provide oversight.
The Presidency explained that the NTPIC will conduct extensive nationwide consultations with both public- and private-sector stakeholders to ensure broad input and smooth execution of the reforms.
President Tinubu said the creation of the committee reflects his administration’s commitment to building a fair, transparent and technology-driven tax system that supports economic growth while protecting citizens and businesses.
“These new Tax Acts reflect our dedication to strengthening public finance management and ensuring investor confidence. The committee will guarantee coherent and effective implementation across all levels of government,” he said.
Finance Minister Wale Edun described the move as a decisive step toward transforming Nigeria’s fiscal landscape, noting that the President has provided “the authority and support required to reset not just the tax system but the entire fiscal policy environment to drive significant economic growth.”
Committee chairman Tegbe assured that the team would work closely with stakeholders to build public trust and deliver seamless implementation.
President Tinubu signed the tax reform bills into law in June 2025, with full implementation scheduled to begin in January 2026.
