The Nigeria Revenue Service (NRS) now replaces the Federal Inland Revenue Service (FIRS), just as the new entity unveiled its institutional brand identity.
The transformation marks a new dawn in revenue administration in the country, as the
NRS came into existence in the wake of the signing of its enabling law known as the Nigeria Revenue Service Establishment Act 2025 by President Bola Tinubu in June 2025.
Speaking at the unveiling of the new logo on Wednesday in Abuja, the Executive Chairman of NRS, Zacch Adedeji, said the new logo and other brand elements for NRS represent an important milestone in the evolution of Nigeria’s revenue administration framework.
A statement issued by his Special Adviser (Media), Dare Adekanmbi, quoted him as adding that “The unveiling of the NRS identity reflects a renewed commitment to a more unified, efficient, and service-oriented revenue system, one that is aligned with Nigeria’s economic transformation agenda and global best practices,” Mr Adedeji was quoted to have said.
He said the new identity “signals continuity of purpose, strengthened institutional capacity, and a forward-looking approach to supporting taxpayers and national development.
“The Nigeria Revenue Service remains committed to transparency, partnership, and service excellence,” he said, adding that the unveiling of the new identity represented not an end, but the beginning of a strengthened relationship between the revenue authority and the Nigerian public—built on trust, clarity, and shared prosperity,” he said.
