Share

The Nigeria Revenue Service (NRS) has launched a new digital tax administration platform, Rev360, in a move aimed at simplifying tax compliance, improving taxpayer experience, and strengthening revenue collection across the country.

The platform, unveiled is designed to integrate key tax functions including taxpayer registration, filing, payment processing, compliance management, reporting, and support services into a single digital ecosystem.

Speaking at the launch, the Minister of Finance and Coordinating Minister of the Economy, Mr. Taiwo Oyedele, described the initiative as a significant step towards modernising Nigeria’s tax administration framework and creating a more transparent and predictable revenue environment.

Represented by the Permanent Secretary of the Federal Ministry of Finance, Mr. Mohammed Danjuma, the minister said digital solutions such as Rev360 were increasingly becoming critical tools for improving the ease of doing business and attracting investment.

According to him, the adoption of technology-driven tax systems aligns with the federal government’s broader economic reform agenda and efforts to build a more efficient and accountable revenue ecosystem capable of supporting sustainable national development.

The Executive Chairman of NRS, Dr. Zacch Adedeji, said the launch of Rev360 marked a major milestone in the agency’s transformation agenda, stressing that the service was evolving into a technology-driven institution focused on meeting the demands of a modern economy.

He explained that the platform was developed to eliminate fragmented tax processes and provide taxpayers with a seamless experience through a unified system.

“Rev360 is not just another technology platform. It represents a fundamental shift in how we engage taxpayers, manage compliance, and deliver services,” Adedeji said.

According to him, the platform forms a central component of the agency’s transition to what it describes as Tax Administration 3.0, a framework anchored on automation, real-time data visibility, enhanced transparency, and improved taxpayer engagement.

He noted that by reducing administrative bottlenecks and simplifying compliance procedures, the system is expected to encourage voluntary tax compliance while improving operational efficiency within the revenue service.

NRS Executive Director, Medium and Emerging Taxpayers Group, Mrs. Bolaji Akintola, said the platform was developed in response to changing taxpayer expectations, particularly among businesses operating in increasingly digital environments.

She explained that modern enterprises now expect public institutions to provide services that match the speed, convenience, and transparency commonly associated with private-sector platforms.

Akintola said Rev360 addresses those expectations by streamlining taxpayer onboarding, filing, payment processing, compliance management, and support services, while providing greater visibility into tax obligations and improved communication channels with the revenue authority.

Also speaking, Chief of Staff to the NRS Chairman, Mr. Tayo Koleosho, said the platform would play a key role in improving revenue performance through enhanced voluntary compliance and better use of data.

He noted that the system would generate valuable insights to support policy formulation, strengthen decision-making, and improve the overall effectiveness of tax administration.

Koleosho added that the reform extends beyond technology and represents a broader institutional and cultural shift in the way revenue authorities interact with taxpayers.

Providing technical insights into the platform, Executive Director, Technology, NRS, Mr. Iniabasi Akpan, said Rev360 was built as a fully integrated ecosystem that connects all taxpayer touchpoints into a single platform.

According to him, the system provides a comprehensive view of taxpayer interactions, enabling real-time monitoring, improved workflow management, and greater coordination across departments.

Akpan said the platform’s integrated architecture would support better service delivery, strengthen institutional responsiveness, and enhance the agency’s ability to leverage data for operational and policy purposes.

With the launch of Rev360, the NRS said it was reinforcing its commitment to innovation, transparency, and institutional reform as it seeks to build a modern, data-driven revenue administration system capable of supporting Nigeria’s economic growth ambitions.

Customs Unveils 3,852 Successful Recruits, Adopts Annual Employment Exercise The Nigeria Customs Service (NCS) has announced the release of the final list of 3,852 successful candidates for its 2024/2025 recruitment exercise and unveiled plans to institutionalise annual recruitment to ensure continuous manpower renewal. Speaking at a press briefing, the Comptroller-General of Customs, Bashir Adewale Adeniyi, said the successful applicants were selected across three entry cadres, with 1,275 recruited into the Superintendent Cadre, 367 into the Inspectorate Cadre, and 2,210 into the Customs Assistant Cadre. Adeniyi said the publication of the final list marks the successful conclusion of the recruitment exercise, which commenced in December 2024. He apologised for the delay in completing the exercise, attributing it to the unprecedented number of applications received and the Service’s determination to conduct a transparent, credible and merit-driven recruitment process. According to the Customs boss, the Service received 573,680 applications for just 3,852 available positions, making the exercise one of the most competitive in the agency’s history. He explained that all applications underwent rigorous screening procedures, including computer-based examinations, verification of credentials against the National Identity database, and additional checks where inconsistencies were detected. He noted that candidates who made the final list would still undergo physical and medical examinations before receiving final approval from the Nigeria Customs Service Board. Adeniyi disclosed that the overall success rate was 0.67 per cent, meaning only one out of every 148 applicants secured a place in the exercise. Breaking down the figures, he said the Superintendent Cadre attracted 276,995 applications for 1,275 vacancies, representing one successful applicant out of every 217 candidates. The Inspectorate Cadre recorded 128,604 applications for 367 positions, making it the most competitive category with one successful candidate for every 350 applicants, while the Customs Assistant Cadre received 168,081 applications for 2,210 vacancies, translating to one successful applicant for every 76 candidates. He encouraged unsuccessful applicants not to be discouraged, stressing that many met the required qualifications but could not be accommodated because of the limited vacancies and intense competition. The Comptroller-General said the recruitment reflected the Federal Character principle, with all 36 states and the Federal Capital Territory represented. Each state was allocated 105 slots, comprising 35 positions in the Superintendent Cadre, 10 in the Inspectorate Cadre and 60 in the Customs Assistant Cadre, while the FCT received 72 slots under the approved allocation formula. On gender representation, Adeniyi revealed that women accounted for 839 successful candidates, representing 21.8 per cent of the total intake, slightly higher than their 21.2 per cent share of the total applications received. He added that female applicants recorded a marginally higher success rate than their male counterparts, particularly in the Inspectorate and Customs Assistant cadres, reaffirming the Service’s commitment to encouraging greater female participation in future recruitment, especially in operational and enforcement roles. According to him, the exercise also produced a youthful workforce, with a median age of 26 years and nearly three-quarters of the successful candidates below the age of 30. He said the youthful intake would strengthen the Service’s capacity to embrace modern customs administration driven by technology, data analytics and automated risk management. Adeniyi further announced that the Nigeria Customs Service would now conduct recruitment exercises annually instead of waiting several years between recruitment cycles. He disclosed that the 2026 recruitment exercise would commence later this year, expressing confidence that future recruitment would be completed within a single calendar year, from advertisement to the publication of the final list. According to him, the digital systems, screening architecture and verification processes developed during the current exercise would significantly shorten future recruitment timelines. He explained that the annual recruitment policy would enable the Service to plan its workforce more effectively, promptly replace retiring personnel and provide qualified Nigerians with predictable employment opportunities. The Comptroller-General advised successful candidates to rely only on official Nigeria Customs Service communication channels for further instructions, reiterating that recruitment into the Service remains completely free. He urged members of the public to report anyone demanding money in exchange for employment, describing such individuals as fraudsters. Congratulating the successful candidates, Adeniyi reminded them that they earned their positions through a rigorous and highly competitive process and urged them to uphold the professionalism, discipline and integrity expected of officers of the Nigeria Customs Service. He also assured unsuccessful applicants that another opportunity would be available later this year under the newly introduced annual recruitment programme.
