President Tinubu has approved the creation of a National Tax Policy Implementation Committee (NTPIC) to oversee the execution of the recently passed tax laws.
The Committee will be chaired by Joseph Tegbe, a seasoned financial expert with 35+ years’ experience, including a senior advisory role at KPMG Africa.
The Wale Edun Minister of Finance and Coordinating Minister of the Economy will provide ministerial oversight of the committee’s operations.
NTPIC’s mandate is to translate the new tax laws into implementation meaning coordinating actions across federal, state, and private-sector actors to ensure uniform compliance.
It will carry out wide consultations with public-sector agencies, private businesses, professional bodies, subnational governments aiming for broad stakeholder engagement and acceptance.
The committee will also lead public-awareness campaigns to inform citizens and businesses about the new tax regime.
Internally, it will coordinate inter-agency alignment, harmonise existing tax/revenue frameworks with the new laws, and support unified oversight and reporting across revenue and regulatory bodies.
The step underscores how seriously the government intends to implement the tax reforms it’s not just about passing laws, but ensuring effective rollout.
If done well, the reforms under NTPIC’s supervision could improve revenue mobilisation, reduce leakages, promote transparency, and deliver a more efficient, predictable tax system across Nigeria.
The approach also signals a more inclusive, consultative process a mix of government officials, professionals, private sector and civil society which may help with public trust and acceptance.
