President Tinubu had in June 2025 signed the Nigeria Revenue Service (Establishment) Act, which officially transformed FIRS into NRS. The reform which took effect on 1 January 2026, is designed to modernise tax administration, unify revenue collection processes, and enhance efficiency in the nation’s financial capacities. Under the leadership of Executive Chairman, Zacch Adedeji, the NRS is expected to prioritise automation, improve taxpayer experience, and simplify compliance procedures in line with the provisions of the new Act. Some public and private sector top shots who were present at the event include the Chairman of HEIRS Holding and Founder of the United Bank for Africa (UBA), Tony Elumelu, Zenith Bank Chief Executive Officer, Adaora Umeoji and Senators Ned Nwoko, Abdulaziz Yari, Abba Moro, and Ahmed Wadada among others. Also present was the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Ezenwo Nyesom Wike.
