President Bola Ahmed Tinubu had vowed to spend his time in office working to ensure that the quality of life improves in line with his Renewed Hope agenda.

Tinubu disclosed this in a statement by his spokesperson, Ajuri Ngelale, on Tuesday, August 8 after inaugurating the Presidential Committee on Fiscal Policy and Tax Reforms, chaired by Taiwo Oyedele.

The president also expressed his commitment to stopping Nigeria’s overreliance on borrowing for public spending and the resulting burden of debt servicing it places on the management of Nigeria’s limited revenues.

He charged the economic Committee to improve the country’s revenue profile and business environment as the Federal Government moves to achieve an 18% Tax-to-GDP ratio within three years.

Tinubu directed the Committee to achieve its one-year mandate, which is divided into three main areas: fiscal governance, tax reforms, and growth facilitation.

He also directed all government ministries and departments to cooperate fully with the committee towards achieving their mandate.
