EKO HOT BLOG reports that the Nigeria Revenue Service became operational after President Bola Tinubu signed its enabling law, the Nigeria Revenue Service Establishment Act 2025, into law in June.
In a statement released on Tuesday, the Executive Chairman of the Nigeria Revenue Service, Zacch Adedeji, said the unveiling of the logo and other brand elements signalled a major step in the ongoing transformation of Nigeria’s revenue administration system.
Adedeji described the development as a milestone aligned with the Federal Government’s broader economic reform agenda and efforts to strengthen public finance management.
According to him, the new identity reflects a renewed commitment to building a unified, efficient and service driven revenue authority that meets global best practices.
“The unveiling of the NRS identity reflects a renewed commitment to a more unified, efficient and service oriented revenue system, one that is aligned with Nigeria’s economic transformation agenda and global best practices,” Adedeji said.
He explained that the rebranding represents continuity rather than a break from the past, while also signalling stronger institutional capacity and a more forward looking approach to revenue generation.
Adedeji added that the Nigeria Revenue Service would prioritise taxpayer support, transparency and partnership as it carries out its mandate.
“The Nigeria Revenue Service remains committed to transparency, partnership and service excellence. The unveiling of this new identity represents not an end, but the beginning of a strengthened relationship between the revenue authority and the Nigerian public, built on trust, clarity and shared prosperity,” the statement read.
The transition from FIRS to NRS is part of wider reforms aimed at improving revenue collection, boosting investor confidence and supporting sustainable national development.
