The African Democratic Congress (ADC) on Sunday called for transparency in the Nigeria-France digital tax agreement.
The party’s National Publicity Secretary, Bolaji Abdullahi, in a statement issued in Abuja, expressed concern over the agreement.
The News Agency of Nigeria reports that Federal Inland Revenue Service (FIRS) had recently signed a landmark cooperation pact with France.
The agreement, FIRS said, was aimed at modernising Nigeria’s tax administration through digital transformation, capacity development and improved cross-border enforcement.
NAN also reports that the agreement came barely weeks before the FIRS’ formal transition into the Nigeria Revenue Service by January 2026.
FIRS Chairman Zacch Adedeji and the French Ambassador to Nigeria, Marc Fonbaustier, had signed the memorandum of understanding on behalf of both countries.
