The Office of the Tax Ombud has called on revenue-generating agencies to designate liaison officers to strengthen coordination, resolve taxpayer complaints faster and improve accountability within Nigeria’s tax system.
The Tax Ombud and Chief Executive of the Office of the Tax Ombud, John Nwabueze, made the call on Thursday at a stakeholder engagement in Abuja.

The engagement, themed “Promoting Fairness, Transparency and Trust in Tax and Revenue Administration in Nigeria,” focused on improving the relationship between taxpayers and government institutions responsible for collecting public revenue.
Mr Nwabueze said the objective of the office was not to undermine revenue collection but to ensure that the exercise of government’s power to collect taxes was matched by fairness, transparency and access to redress.
