FG set to amend national tax policy – Oyedele
The Chairman of the Presidential Committee on Fiscal Policy and Tax Reforms, Mr Taiwo Oyedele, has disclosed amendment plans to the National Tax Policy.
Oyedele announced this on Tuesday in a post on his X handle @taiwoyedele.
He said the amendment formed part of the ongoing fiscal and tax reform efforts by the committee.
Oyedele revealed that the committee is seeking public interest to attend a policy exposure and impact assessment between May 2nd and 6th in Lagos and Abuja respectively.
He added that the committee has also drafted new tax laws and submitted proposals for the constitutional amendment of the tax legislation.
He said, “As part of our ongoing fiscal and tax reforms, and based on inputs from our consultations and public engagement, we are revising our National Tax Policy.
“We have also drafted new tax laws and submitted proposals for amendments to the constitution to address various fiscal issues.”
Oyedele said, “In this regard, we are organising a Policy and Impact Assessment Session to provide an update and discuss the key proposed changes.”
In October 2023, Oyedele said that his target was to reduce the number of taxes collected in Nigeria to less than ten.
He noted that over 62 taxes were officially being collected at the different levels of government in the country, which was a burden on Nigerian business operators.
He decried the several informal taxes being collected across the country.

Edo To Get First Lady As Gov Okpebholo Reportedly Set To Quit Bachelorhood
By Kayode Sanni-Arewa
December 24, (THEWILL) – Barring any last minute change of heart, the governor of Edo State, Monday Okpebholo, is allegedly set to marry his side chick, a California-based lady, Jennifer, the daughter of Sharon Ogaga, who is a native of Auchi and is believed to be in her 30s.
THEWILL reports that the marriage is scheduled to be held in Potter Ranch, California, in January 2024, while Aso ebi for the event is being distributed to friends of the bride for a fee around America, Europe and Africa, the letter of invitation only identifies Jennifer, but does not mention the identity of the husband-to-be, in what appears to be a deliberate attempt to mask governor Okpebolo’s identity and shield him from the controversial move.
What is weird is that Jennifer and her family are being coy with the identity of the man she is marrying.
One of THEWILL’s sources, however, has a direct confirmation that Governor Okpebholo is the “husband-in-waiting.”
“They are only telling people that Jennifer is getting married. They are not revealing the identity of the man. It is obvious they are hiding something, probably they don’t want distractions to taint the ceremony,” one of the sources said.
THEWILL does not know the status of Okpebholo’s current marriage to Blessing Okpabi Okpebholo, the mother of his two daughters, who was a no-show during his inauguration as governor.
It, however, appears that their marriage is over because it is illegal to be married to more than one person under the laws of the United States.
According to one of our sources, Senator Adams Oshiomhole allegedly hooked Jennifer up with the governor.
The governor’s Special Adviser on Media, Osiobughie Okhuemoi, said he was unaware of the development when THEWILL contacted him for comments a few days ago.
