The Minister of Finance and Coordinating Minister of the Economy, Mr. Taiwo Oyedele and his Federal Capital Territory (FCT) counterpart, Barr. Nyesom Wike have met to finetune the tax administration in the FCT.

Mr. Oyedele, in a statement on Sunday, described it as a, “productive bilateral meeting,” adding, “the two Ministers also reviewed plans to harmonise tax administration within the FCT.”

The harmonisation, he said, would eliminate “multiple taxation while optimising revenue generation in line with the new tax reform law, to accelerate development across the Territory.”
