NRS, CITN sensitise FCT residents on voluntary tax compliance

The National Revenue Service (NRS) and the Chartered Institute of Taxation of Nigeria (CITN) have reafirmed their commitment to building a culture of voluntary tax compliance in the country by organising a sensitisation work in the Federal Capital Territory as part of activities to mark the 2026 National Tax Awareness Day recently.

The tax awareness day featured a series of coordinated nationwide activities designed to promote taxpayer education, encourage voluntary compliance, and deepen public understanding of Nigeria’s tax laws under the theme: “Tax Awareness for National Growth: Reform, Compliance and Shared Prosperity.”

As part of the celebration, CITN District Societies organised tax awareness roadshows, market sensitisation campaigns, media engagements, tax clinics, stakeholder forums, school competitions and community outreach programmes aimed at improving tax literacy and strengthening compliance culture across the country.

Speaking on behalf of the Executive Chairman of NRS, Director Finance and Corporate Services, Mr Mohammed Abubakar commended CITN for institutionalising the National Tax Awareness Day and mobilising its District Societies nationwide to advance tax awareness.

“Tax awareness is the foundation of voluntary compliance, and voluntary compliance remains essential to building a sustainable tax system that supports national growth and shared prosperity,” he stated.

In his remarks, President of CITN, Mr. Innocent Ohagwa said “National Tax Awareness Day represents a coordinated nationwide effort to deepen tax awareness, strengthen taxpayer education and support the successful implementation of Nigeria’s tax reform agenda,” he said.
