The Executive Chairman of the Nigeria Revenue Service (NRS), Mr. Zacch Adedeji, has stated that the integration of technology into revenue systems is critical and must be embraced by FCT- and all sub-national tax authorities.
He emphasized that technology plays a vital role in the new tax laws by promoting efficiency, transparency, and accountability.
Adedeji, spoke through the Executive Secretary of the Joint Revenue Board, Mr. Olusegun Philip Adesokan, at a recent stakeholders’ engagement organised by the Federal Capital Territory Internal Revenue Service (FCT-IRS)
He commended the FCT-IRS for its decisive move to convene a high-level engagement forum aimed at strengthening revenue administration and aligning with Nigeria’s sweeping fiscal reforms.
Describing the engagement as essential and timely, Adedeji stressed that the ongoing reforms seek to redefine compliance, reduce revenue leakages, and bolster tax administration.
According to him: “This commitment will help build a transparent, efficient, and collaborative tax ecosystem that will accelerate infrastructural development and economic prosperity in the Federal Capital Territory.”
Furthermore, the NRS boss noted the far-reaching fiscal reforms being implemented under President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s leadership, noting they are designed to reposition Nigeria’s revenue architecture to promote equity and sustainable public finance management.
