EXCLUSIVE: FIRS Chairman Zach Adedeji Plans Lavish Dubai Birthday With Seyi Tinubu Amid Controversy Over Alleged Tax Law Alterations
The Chairman of Nigeria’s Federal Inland Revenue Service (FIRS), Zach Adedeji, is reportedly planning a lavish birthday celebration in Dubai, United Arab Emirates, on January 6, 2026, despite mounting public outrage over alleged alterations to recently enacted tax laws. Multiple sources disclosed that the high-profile event is expected to attract influential political and business figures, including Seyi Tinubu, son of President Bola Tinubu.
The planned celebration comes at a sensitive time, as Adedeji and the FIRS face intense scrutiny over claims that provisions of Nigeria’s new tax reform laws were altered after passage by the National Assembly, allegedly to benefit powerful interests. While the controversy continues, President Tinubu has insisted that the implementation of the tax reforms would proceed as scheduled from January 1, 2026, describing the changes as critical to resetting Nigeria’s fiscal framework rather than increasing taxes.
Lawmakers, particularly from the House of Representatives minority caucus, have raised concerns about discrepancies between the versions of the tax laws debated and passed by parliament and those published in the Federal Gazette. In response, investigative committees have been set up to probe the alleged alterations, even as the federal government moves ahead with the rollout of the new tax regime.
