To guarantee the successful implementation of his administration’s recently passed tax reforms, President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has approved the establishment of the National Tax Policy Implementation Committee, or NTPIC.
The committee will be led by seasoned financial expert Joseph Tegbe, a Fellow of the Institute of Chartered Accountants of Nigeria (ICAN) and the Chartered Institute of Taxation of Nigeria (CITN), according to a statement released by the Presidency.
Additionally, Mrs. Sanyade Okoli, the President’s special adviser on finance and economics, will act as secretary.
Rukaiya El-Rufai, Ismaeel Ahmed, and a number of other seasoned pros are among the other members. Wale Edun, the Minister of Finance and Coordinating Minister of the Economy, will oversee the committee’s operations.
The Presidency states that in order to guarantee widespread participation in the implementation process, the NTPIC is required to conduct comprehensive discussions with stakeholders from both the public and commercial sectors.
According to President Tinubu, the committee’s creation demonstrates his administration’s dedication to creating an equitable, transparent, and technologically advanced tax system that promotes economic expansion while safeguarding individuals and companies.
“Our commitment to bolstering public financial management and guaranteeing investor trust is reflected in these new Tax Acts. “Coherent and effective implementation across all levels of government will be guaranteed by the committee,” he said.
The President has given “the authority and support required to reset not just the tax system but the entire fiscal policy environment to drive significant economic growth,” according to Finance Minister Wale Edun, who characterized the action as a critical step in reforming Nigeria’s fiscal framework.
Tegbe, the committee chairman, promised that the group would collaborate hard with interested parties to foster public confidence and guarantee smooth execution.
Remember that the tax reform bills were signed into law by President Tinubu in June 2025, and its implementation is slated to start in January 2026.
