In this episode of the Mic On Podcast, Seun Okinbaloye speaks with Taiwo Oyedele, Chairman of the Presidential Committee on Fiscal Policy and Tax Reforms, who explains Nigeria’s new tax laws and why they aim to fix multiple outdated taxes rather than increase burdens.He says most Nigerians will pay less from 2026, with clear exemptions for low-income earners, students, and retirees. Oyedele stresses fairness in capturing all economic activity and insists the reforms will lower costs for key sectors while improving transparency.Dismissing claims of overtaxation, he argues that Nigeria’s real challenge is low productivity and poor data, not tax rates. He urges support for reforms to avoid repeating past policy failures.Guest:Taiwo Oyedele(Chairman, Presidential Committee on Fiscal Policy & Tax Reform)
