The International Monetary Fund (IMF) has expressed strong support for Nigeria’s current tax reforms, praising the Federal Inland Revenue Service (FIRS) for its recent progress.

The endorsement came after a high-level visit by IMF officials to the country, signaling confidence in Nigeria’s economic direction.

These reforms are part of a broader effort to boost revenue, improve compliance, and reduce dependence on oil income.

As FIRS prepares for a major transition next year, the IMF’s backing offers both credibility and momentum for continued fiscal transformation.
