FG is tasked with hiring tax experts to carry out the reform.

In order to carry out the tax reforms that are scheduled to start in January 2026, the federal government has been tasked with hiring tax experts. During the 2025 annual dinners and awards ceremony of the Chartered Institute of Taxation of Nigeria (CITN), former Lagos governor Akinwummi Ambode made this statement, highlighting the significance of tax experts and claiming they had the knowledge required to educate the people.The majority of government changes end up in the government’s Ministry of Information, which prevents them from reaching their intended goals. Instead of teaching and supporting those who are truly specialists in that field, the Ministry of Information merely informs people about what has been done. What you discover is that there is a communication gap between what the public expects and what the government is attempting to accomplish.Therefore, regardless of how well-thought-out the tax reform is on paper, it will fail if the public does not support it. Therefore, the tax professionals are the best group of consultants that the government may hire to operate on its behalf.
