Minister of Finance and Coordinating Minister of the Economy, Mr. Taiwo Oyedele, yesterday declared that Nigeria’s drive towards fiscal federalism would remain ineffective unless all tiers of government embraced shared responsibility, fairness, and accountability in tax administration.

Oyedele spoke in Abuja at the opening of a national workshop on “Strengthening Tax Compliance in our New Tax Regime: Collaborating with Sub-national Governments for Enhanced Tax Collection.”
