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 all tax authorities at the sub-national level.
Adedeji served as the Special Guest of Honour at the Federal Capital Territory Internal Revenue Service (FCT-IRS) Stakeholder Engagement Forum on Monday in Abuja.
The forum was themed: “Harmonising Revenue Systems and Implementing New Tax Laws.”
Represented by the Executive Secretary of the Joint Revenue Board, Mr. Olusegun Philip Adesokan, the Executive Chairman emphasized that technology plays a vital role in the new tax laws by promoting efficiency, transparency, and accountability.
He commended the FCT-IRS for taking the decisive move to convene a high-level engagement forum to strengthen revenue administration and align with Nigeria’s sweeping fiscal reforms.
He described the engagement as both essential and timely, stressing that the ongoing reforms seek to redefine compliance, reduce revenue leakages, and strengthen tax administration.
Providing strategic insight into the Service’s roadmap, the Acting Executive Chairman of the FCT-IRS, Michael Ango, described the forum as a transformative initiative aimed at fostering genuine partnerships.
“This stakeholder engagement forum is one with a difference,” Ango stated. “We have not called you here today to educate you on your obligations or to tell you how much tax we have collected. Rather, we have called you here to discuss our vision for the FCT and how we can work together as partners to achieve that vision.”
