President Bola Tinubu on Tuesday commissioned the new Corporate Headquarters of the Nigeria Revenue Service in Abuja.
The event marked the transition from the Federal Inland Revenue Service to the newly restructured Nigeria Revenue Service.
He hailed the agency’s performance and formally declared the building open.
The newly inaugurated complex, described as a world-class edifice, features 16 floors spread across three towers and has the capacity to accommodate about 3,000 personnel.
The event underscores the formal transition from the Federal Inland Revenue Service (FIRS) to the Nigeria Revenue Service (NRS), a reform initiative aimed at strengthening the country’s fiscal architecture.
President Tinubu had in June 2025 signed the Nigeria Revenue Service (Establishment) Act, which officially transformed FIRS into NRS.
The rebranding, which took effect on January 1, 2026, is designed to modernise tax administration, unify revenue collection processes, and enhance efficiency in the nation’s financial system.
Under the leadership of Executive Chairman, Zacch Adedeji, the NRS is expected to prioritise automation, improve taxpayer experience, and simplify compliance procedures in line with the provisions of the new Act.
