President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has approved the creation of the National Tax Policy Implementation Committee (NTPIC) to ensure coordinated and effective rollout of Nigeria’s newly enacted tax laws.
Chaired by Mr Joseph Tegbe, a Fellow of the Institute of Chartered Accountants of Nigeria (FCA) and the Chartered Institute of Taxation of Nigeria (FCIT), the committee will operate under the oversight of the Minister of Finance and Coordinating Minister of the Economy, Mr Wale Edun.
Tegbe, a former Senior Partner and Head of Advisory Services at KPMG Africa with over 35 years’ experience in public and private sectors, leads a multi-disciplinary team that includes Mrs Sanyade Okoli (Secretary and Special Adviser to the President on Finance and Economy), Ismaeel Ahmed, Rukaiya El-Rufai, and other experts from tax administration, finance, law, private sector, and civil society.
The NTPIC’s core mandate is to conduct extensive nationwide consultations with private sector players, professional bodies, subnational governments, and the public while fostering strong inter-agency coordination among revenue and regulatory institutions.

President Tinubu emphasised that the new Tax Acts are pivotal to building a fair, transparent, and technology-driven tax system that supports economic growth and protects citizens and investors. “This committee will guarantee coherent and well-aligned implementation across all government levels,” the President stated.
Chairman Joseph Tegbe pledged diligent collaboration with stakeholders to build public trust, while Minister Wale Edun described the committee as a decisive step toward resetting Nigeria’s entire fiscal framework for sustainable growth and shared prosperity.
The NTPIC is expected to boost revenue mobilisation, curb leakages, enhance accountability, and strengthen fiscal sustainability in line with the administration’s economic transformation agenda.
