The Nigeria Revenue Service (NRS) has officially unveiled its institutional brand identity, marking its formal transition from the Federal Inland Revenue Service (FIRS) to the newly established national revenue collection agency.
The unveiling follows the gazetting of the Nigeria Revenue Service as Nigeria’s central revenue authority and was highlighted by the presentation of the agency’s new logo at an event held in Abuja on Wednesday.
In a statement issued by Mr. Dare Adekanmbi, Special Adviser to the Chairman of the NRS, Mr. Zacch Adedeji, the development was described as a major milestone in the evolution of Nigeria’s revenue administration system.
Speaking at the unveiling, Mr. Adedeji said the new identity reflects a renewed commitment to building a more unified, efficient, and service-driven revenue framework that aligns with Nigeria’s economic reform agenda and international best practices.
He explained that the transition from FIRS to NRS signals continuity of purpose, while strengthening institutional capacity and adopting a forward-looking approach to revenue mobilisation and taxpayer engagement.
According to him, the new brand identity represents the agency’s resolve to support national development through improved service delivery, enhanced transparency, and stronger partnerships with stakeholders.
“The unveiling of this new identity represents 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,” the statement noted.
The NRS reaffirmed its commitment to transparency, accountability, and service excellence, assuring taxpayers of a more responsive and inclusive revenue administration system.
The Nigeria Revenue Service formally came into operation following the signing of its enabling legislation, the Nigeria Revenue Service Establishment Act 2025, by President Bola Ahmed Tinubu in June.
The transition positions the NRS as a key institution in Nigeria’s ongoing efforts to reform public finance management and drive sustainable economic growth.
