Nigeria has officially ushered in a new era in revenue administration with the unveiling of the Nigeria Revenue Service (NRS), which replaces the former Federal Inland Revenue Service (FIRS).
The new institution became operational following the signing of the Nigeria Revenue Service (Establishment) Act 2025 by President Bola Tinubu in June 2025.
At the unveiling of the NRS logo in Abuja on Wednesday, Zacch Adedeji, Executive Chairman, described the new brand identity as a major milestone in the evolution of Nigeria’s revenue administration framework.
According to a statement issued by Dare Adekanmbi, his Special Adviser on Media, Adedeji said the new identity reflects a renewed commitment to a unified, efficient, and service-driven revenue system aligned with Nigeria’s economic transformation agenda and global best practices.
He explained that the NRS brand signals continuity of purpose, stronger institutional capacity, and a forward-looking approach to supporting taxpayers while driving national development.
“The Nigeria Revenue Service remains committed to transparency, partnership, and service excellence,” Adedeji said. “This unveiling marks not an end, but the beginning of a stronger relationship between the revenue authority and the Nigerian public, one built on trust, clarity, and shared prosperity.”
The transition from FIRS to NRS underscores the federal government’s push to modernise revenue administration and strengthen confidence in Nigeria’s tax and revenue systems.
