The Chairman of the Presidential Fiscal Policy and Tax Reforms Committee, Mr Taiwo Oyedele, is set to speak at this week’s edition of the Renewed Hope Global Virtual Town Hall Conference, where he will shed light on the administration’s ongoing tax reforms aimed at boosting compliance, expanding the tax base, and driving economic growth.
The conference, billed for Saturday, March 15, 2025, will run from 4:00 PM to 6:00 PM (Nigerian time) and will feature a one-hour Q&A session, allowing Nigerians at home and in the Diaspora to engage directly with the tax expert.
Oyedele, a well-respected fiscal policy expert, was appointed by President Bola Ahmed Tinubu to lead the Fiscal Policy & Tax Reforms Committee as part of the government’s push to revamp Nigeria’s tax system. Since assuming office, he has spearheaded initiatives to eliminate multiple taxation, streamline tax policies, and create a more business-friendly environment that encourages investment and economic stability.
With Nigeria’s economy undergoing critical reforms, Oyedele’s session is expected to provide clarity on the tax reform bill currently before the National Assembly and the administration’s broader fiscal strategy. Many businesses and individuals have expressed concerns about tax burdens and compliance issues, making this discussion a timely intervention.
The virtual conference, moderated by Ambassador J.K. Adebola, will be streamed live on BEN TV, UK, with global participation encouraged. Nigerians across different time zones can join using the following access details: Zoom Conference ID: 4329105086, Passcode: Nigeria001.
The Renewed Hope Global Virtual Town Hall Conference has remained a major platform for open engagement between policymakers and the public. Since the inception of President Tinubu’s administration, the forum has hosted over 50 top government officials, including several Ministers, HM Festus Keyamo, HM Muhammad Pate, CEOs, DGs, Director-General of the Rural Electrification Agency (REA), Mr Abba Abubakar Aliyu; Minister of Industry Trade, Investment Senator John Enoh; and NAFDAC DG, Prof. Mojisola Adeyeye, among others.
