Описание: “Tax Reform Is Changing Nigeria in 2026” – Gov Peter Mbah’s Powerful Message at CITN summit

Nigeria’s tax system is undergoing major reforms — and Enugu State is taking the lead.

At the South-East Zonal Sensitisation Programme hosted by the Chartered Institute of Taxation of Nigeria (CITN) in collaboration with the Enugu State Internal Revenue Service (ESIRS), stakeholders gathered at the International Conference Centre, Enugu, to discuss what the new tax laws mean for businesses, government agencies, and everyday taxpayers.

In this keynote address delivered on behalf of Governor Peter Mbah, the Enugu State Government emphasized:

• Why taxation must shift from fear to civic responsibility
• The historical mistrust of tax systems in developing economies
• How exemptions protect low-income earners
• Why government must create enabling environments to grow incomes
• The importance of voluntary compliance
• The role of the Tax Appeal Tribunal and taxpayer rights
• Why frontline tax officers must improve engagement
• The need for digital tax systems — while accommodating offline businesses

Also featuring insights from ESIRS Chairman Dr. Emmanuel Ekene Nnamani and tax professionals, the event focused on transparency, accountability, and building a fair, coordinated tax structure across all levels of government.

If you are a business owner, entrepreneur, accountant, consultant, or policymaker, this conversation directly affects you.
