President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has commissioned the new Corporate Headquarters of the Nigerian Revenue Service (NRS) in Abuja, describing the facility as a symbol of renewed trust and transparency in government institutions.
The newly inaugurated complex consists of three towers rising up to 16 floors and is designed to accommodate about 3,000 employees, providing a centralised hub for the agency’s operations.
The building is also expected to serve as the operational base of the rebranded National Revenue Service, as provided under recent tax reform laws aimed at strengthening revenue generation across all tiers of government.
Speaking after the commissioning, Tinubu said the edifice represents a shift towards a more transparent and efficient taxation system.

“No government can demand much from its people when the taxation system is opaque,” he said, adding that the reforms now in place are designed to reward entrepreneurship and improve compliance.
The President described early outcomes from the new tax laws as “encouraging” and “fantastic”, attributing the gains to deliberate policy choices and careful planning by his administration.
He emphasised that the facility goes beyond its physical structure, noting that it embodies a new standard of professionalism, efficiency and service delivery expected from public institutions.
According to him, the Nigerian Revenue Service must not only focus on revenue collection but also demonstrate accountability, responsiveness and efficiency in its operations.
“It must become a model institution that inspires confidence both at home and abroad,” Tinubu said.

He added that the country’s future would be shaped by the collective choices of its citizens, insisting that his administration is already delivering visible progress.
