Nigeria Revenue Service (NRS) (formerly FIRS)
The Nigeria Revenue Service has pledged transparent and fair administration of mining royalties under the new tax laws that transferred the collection of mineral royalties and related fees to the agency.
The agency also pledged to ensure transparency, fairness and accountability in the administration of the mining sector under the 2025 reforms signed into law by President Bola Tinubu.
In a statement on Sunday by the Executive Director of the Government and Large Taxpayers Directorate of the NRS, Amina Ado, the agency said the assurance was given during a mining stakeholders’ workshop.
Ado said the reforms were designed to tackle long-standing challenges in the sector, including illegal mining activities, weak oversight and revenue leakages.
