Taiwo Oyedele, chairman of the presidential fiscal policy and tax reforms committee, has disclosed the category of Nigerians who are opposed to the ongoing tax reforms and why. Oyedele links resistance to tax reforms to years of weak enforcement and unpaid taxes. He said the figure is higher than Nigeria’s total tax revenue from all sources combined, including petroleum profit tax, company income tax, value-added tax (VAT), and levies collected by federal, state and local governments. It will be recalled that President Bola Tinubu signed four tax reform bills into law on June 26, 2025. Oyedele explains why some Nigerians oppose tax reforms.
