The Office of the Tax Ombud has sought President Bola Tinubu’s approval to establish six regional offices across Nigeria’s geopolitical zones, as it disclosed that approximately 82 per cent of taxpayer complaints received since its inception had been resolved.
The Tax Ombud and Chief Executive of the Office, Dr John Nwabueze, disclosed this during the fourth-quarter 2026 breakfast meeting with members of the Finance Correspondents Association of Nigeria in Abuja on Friday.
According to a statement on Sunday issued by the Chief Press Secretary to the Tax Ombudsman, Chukwudi Achife, the proposed expansion is expected to improve access to dispute resolution services and strengthen accountability in tax administration.
Nwabueze said the regional offices were scheduled to commence operations before the end of 2026, subject to presidential approval.
“We are dedicated to building trust in the tax system and ensuring that all Nigerians have their voices heard.
