The National Tax Policy Implementation Committee, or NTPIC, was established with President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s approval to guarantee the successful implementation of his administration’s recently implemented tax reforms.
The committee will be led by seasoned financial specialist 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 economy, will act as secretary.
Rukaiya El-Rufai, Ismaeel Ahmed, and other seasoned experts are among the other members. The group will be overseen by Wale Edun, the Coordinating Minister of the Economy and Minister of Finance.
The Presidency claims that in order to guarantee widespread participation in the implementation process, the NTPIC is required to conduct in-depth consultations 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, open, and technologically advanced tax system that promotes economic expansion while safeguarding individuals and companies.
“These new Tax Acts demonstrate our commitment to bolstering investor confidence and public finance management. He declared, “The committee will ensure cogent and efficient implementation across all levels of government.”
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 key step in reforming Nigeria’s fiscal framework.
Tegbe, the committee chairman, promised that the team would work hard with stakeholders to ensure smooth implementation and foster public trust.
Remember that the tax reform measures were signed into law by President Tinubu in June 2025, and their implementation is set to start in January 2026.
