President Bola Tinubu on Monday received the Minister of State for Finance-designate, Taiwo Oyedele, at the State House in Abuja.
The meeting marked Oyedele’s first official audience with the President since his appointment into the cabinet.
The meeting provided an opportunity for both men to exchange views on Nigeria’s ongoing fiscal reform agenda and strategies to strengthen public finance management.
The discussions reportedly focused on improving revenue mobilisation, expanding the tax base and enhancing the country’s fiscal framework.
Before his appointment, Oyedele played a key role in engagements with the President and other senior government officials on tax reforms and economic policy initiatives.
He previously served as Chairman of the Presidential Committee on Fiscal Policy and Tax Reform, which developed Nigeria’s new consolidated tax laws.
During that period, the committee proposed several measures aimed at improving tax administration and boosting government revenue.
As Minister of State for Finance, Oyedele is expected to work with the leadership of the Federal Ministry of Finance Nigeria to advance policies targeted at strengthening revenue generation and promoting fiscal discipline.
His appointment comes as the Tinubu administration continues to implement reforms aimed at stabilising the economy, increasing government revenue and building a more sustainable fiscal structure for national development.
