The Federal Inland Revenue Service has unveiled a new name and corporate identity, rebranding as the Nigeria Revenue Service, as Nigeria prepares to transition to a new tax regime from January 1, 2026.

The new logo and identity were presented on Wednesday in Abuja by the Executive Chairman of the NRS, Zacch Adedeji.

The rebranding follows the enactment of the Nigeria Revenue Service Establishment Act, 2025, signed into law by President Bola Tinubu in June 2025.

With the enactment of the law, the NRS formally replaced the FIRS as Nigeria’s central revenue authority, with an expanded mandate under the country’s comprehensive tax reform programme.

Speaking at the unveiling, Adedeji said the new identity underscores a strategic repositioning of Nigeria’s revenue administration framework.

According to a statement by the Special Adviser (Media) to the Executive Chairman, Dare Adekanmbi, Adedeji said:“The unveiling of the NRS identity reflects a renewed commitment to a more unified, efficient, and service-oriented revenue system, one that is aligned with Nigeria’s economic transformation agenda and global best practices.”

He described the new logo and brand elements as a critical milestone in the evolution of Nigeria’s revenue administration framework.

According to him, the rebrand: “signals continuity of purpose, strengthened institutional capacity, and a forward-looking approach to supporting taxpayers and national development.”

Adedeji further assured Nigerians that the NRS would continue to prioritise transparency, collaboration, and excellence in service delivery.
