I am a Partner in the Tax and Corporate Advisory Services practice of PwC Nigeria. I joined the firm in 2001 for my National Youth Service, I became a regular staff member in 2002 and seven years later, I became a partner.
I launched this blog in recognition of the growing importance of taxation in Nigeria and to provide an interactive platform for the exchange of ideas and discussions on contemporary tax issues locally and in the international arena. The blog is updated at least twice a month with hot topics in taxation and related issues that I feel professionals, regulators, analysts, investors and other interested parties should be aware of.
I will be delighted to hear your views and comments on the postings on this blog and answer your questions on any of the issues raised.
