Misinformation: FG to train 20 content creators on sharing tax information

Taiwo Oyedele, Chairman, Presidential Committee on Fiscal Policy and Tax Reforms




The Federal Government has announced a new initiative to train 20 content creators to help promote accurate and balanced information about Nigeria’s new tax reform laws.

The Chairman of the Presidential Committee on Fiscal Policy and Tax Reforms, Taiwo Oyedele, made this known in a post on X on Monday.

The programme, tagged “Influencing for Good,” encourages Nigerians to nominate content creators who are already educating their audiences about the tax reforms or those they would like to see take up the role.

Tribune Online reports that President Bola Tinubu had, in June, signed into law four major tax reform bills. The bills are: the Nigeria Tax Bill, the Nigeria Tax Administration Bill, the Nigeria Revenue Service (Establishment) Bill, and the Joint Revenue Board (Establishment) Bill.

According to Oyedele, the top 20 creators with the most nominations will be selected for a special training to help them share factual and useful tax information with their followers.

Nominations of content creators for the training are scheduled to close on 9 November 2025.

He wrote, “Nominate a content creator who’s been educating their audience about Nigeria’s new tax reform laws or someone you’d like to see do so.

“We’ll be selecting the top 20 creators with the most nominations for a special training to help them share accurate, balanced, and useful tax information with their followers.

“Misinformation spreads fast, often to the author’s benefit but to the audience’s loss. Accurate information may travel slower, but it empowers everyone, and earns lasting trust.

“Tag or mention your favourite influencer to nominate or fill the nomination form forms.gle/15kyv1ffx7tzTL…. Nomination closes on 9 November 2025.” (Nigerian Tribune)
