Ekiti State has become the first state in Nigeria to domesticate the Nigeria Tax Administration Act, following the signing into law of the Ekiti State Revenue Administration Law, 2025 by Governor Biodun Oyebanji.
The Governor signed the new revenue law alongside the Ekiti State 2026 Budget of over four hundred and fifteen billion naira, during a brief ceremony held at the Governor’s Office in Ado Ekiti.
Governor Oyebanji said the new law shows his administration’s commitment to transparency, modern governance and economic growth, stressing that Ekiti has now aligned its revenue system with national tax reforms.
He also announced that the state would fully adopt electronic payment, billing and receipting systems, saying this will block revenue leakages and ensure that all taxes paid go directly into government accounts.
The Governor further explained that the law would end double taxation, protect taxpayers, improve ease of doing business and empower local governments, while making the Ekiti State Internal Revenue Service the sole agency for revenue collection.
