President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has approved the formation of the National Tax Policy Implementation Committee (NTPIC) to drive the rollout of his administration’s new tax laws. According to Mediaplusng.com, the committee will be led by taxation expert Joseph Tegbe and is designed to support Nigeria’s economic goals through better revenue mobilisation, reduced leakages, and stronger accountability.
In a statement by Presidential Adviser Bayo Onanuga, the Minister of Finance and Coordinating Minister of the Economy, Wale Edun, is to supervise the committee’s work. As Mediaplusng.com reports, President Tinubu says effective execution of the new Tax Acts is central to his economic transformation plan and essential for strengthening public finance while protecting the interests of citizens, investors, and productive industries.
The President notes that the new laws show his commitment to building a fair, transparent, and technology-driven tax system that supports growth. He adds that the NTPIC will align implementation across federal and subnational levels for consistent results nationwide.
The committee’s mandate includes wide consultations with the private sector, professional bodies, and state governments, alongside public awareness campaigns to ensure smooth implementation. It will also coordinate key revenue and regulatory agencies to harmonise existing tax frameworks with the new laws.
The NTPIC is made up of professionals from tax administration, finance, law, business, and civil society to ensure balance and inclusiveness. Tegbe, a Fellow of ICAN and CITN with over 35 years of experience and a former Senior Partner at KPMG Africa, will serve as chairman. Mrs. Sanyade Okoli, Special Adviser to the President on Finance and Economy, will serve as secretary, while members include Ismaeel Ahmed and Rukaiya El-Rufai, among others.
Tegbe says the committee is ready to work with all stakeholders to build trust and support seamless implementation. Finance Minister Wale Edun adds that the committee will help reset Nigeria’s entire fiscal framework and drive economic growth for all Nigerians.
