The Nigeria Revenue Service (NRS) has officially unveiled its institutional brand identity, signalling the formal transition from the former Federal Inland Revenue Service (FIRS) to the country’s newly established national revenue authority.
The unveiling, which took place on Wednesday in Abuja, featured the presentation of the agency’s new logo and visual identity, marking the operational beginning of the NRS.
The development was confirmed in a statement issued by Dare Adekanmbi, Special Adviser on Media to the Chairman of the Service.
Speaking at the event, the Executive Chairman of the NRS, Zacch Adedeji, described the rebranding as a defining moment in the evolution of Nigeria’s revenue administration architecture.
He said the new identity goes beyond aesthetics, reflecting a deeper institutional shift aimed at building a more unified, efficient, and service-driven revenue system.
According to Adedeji, the transition aligns with Nigeria’s broader economic transformation agenda and global best practices, while reinforcing continuity of purpose and improved institutional capacity.
The chairman said the new brand signals a forward-looking approach to taxpayer engagement and national development, noting that the Service is repositioning itself to better support economic growth through improved transparency and efficiency.
“The unveiling of this new identity represents not an end, but the beginning of a strengthened relationship between the revenue authority and the Nigerian public—built on trust, clarity, and shared prosperity,” the statement read.
Adekanmbi explained that the NRS formally came into operation following the signing of its enabling legislation, the Nigeria Revenue Service Establishment Act 2025, into law by Bola Tinubu in June.
