President Bola Tinubu held a crucial meeting with Zacch Adedeji, the Chairman of the Federal Inland Revenue Service (FIRS), at the Presidential Villa in Abuja. The discussion centered on Nigeria’s ongoing tax reforms and efforts to strengthen the nation’s revenue collection framework.

As the Tinubu administration focuses on economic recovery, boosting tax revenue has become a key priority to fund critical infrastructure and social programs. Adedeji, recently appointed to lead FIRS, has been tasked with implementing new strategies to improve tax compliance and widen the tax net to include informal sectors of the economy.

Although details of the meeting remain private, sources suggest that President Tinubu and Adedeji explored ways to modernize Nigeria’s tax system, enhance transparency, and ensure more efficient revenue generation. The talks come at a time when the government is intensifying efforts to diversify its revenue sources beyond oil and increase funding for development projects across the country.

The meeting highlights the administration’s commitment to reforms aimed at fiscal sustainability and economic growth.
