The Federal Inland Revenue Service has transitioned to the Nigeria Revenue Service as the framework for revenue administration in the country, with the change taking effect today following the official unveiling of its institutional brand identity.
The Nigeria Revenue Service, NRS, replaces the now rested Federal Inland Revenue Service, FIRS, and marks a dawn in Nigeria’s revenue administration system.
NRS came into operation after President Bola Tinubu signed its enabling law, the Nigeria Revenue Service Establishment Act 2025, into law in June 2025, providing the legal backing for the transformation.
Speaking on Wednesday in Abuja during the unveiling of the logo, the Executive Chairman of NRS, Zacch Adedeji, said the brand identity represents a milestone in the evolution of Nigeria’s revenue administration framework.
In a statement issued by his Special Adviser on Media, Dare Adekanmbi, Adedeji said, “the unveiling of the NRS identity reflects a renewed commitment to a more unified, efficient, and service-oriented revenue system, aligned with Nigeria’s transformation agenda and best practices.”
He added that the new identity “signals continuity of purpose, strengthened institutional capacity, and a forward-looking approach to supporting taxpayers and national development.”
According to the statement, “The Nigeria Revenue Service remains committed to transparency, partnership, and service excellence. The unveiling of this new identity represents not an end, but the beginning of a relationship between the revenue authority and the Nigerian public, built on trust and prosperity.”
