No Separate TIN Needed to Operate Bank Accounts — FIRS

The Federal Inland Revenue Service (FIRS) has clarified that Nigerians will not be required to obtain a separate Tax Identification Number (TIN) before opening or operating bank accounts. This follows widespread concern triggered by reports suggesting that from January 2026, bank customers would need to present a TIN as a standalone requirement. In a statement on Saturday via her official X (formerly Twitter) handle, Arabinrin Aderonke Atoyebi, Technical Assistant on Broadcast Media to the FIRS Chairman, Zacch Adedeji, dismissed the reports as misleading. “In recent debates about Nigeria’s tax reforms, a misconception has taken root: that citizens without a TIN cannot own or operate a bank account. Nigeria’s tax system has evolved to integrate seamlessly with existing national registries, ensuring that every eligible individual or entity is automatically identifiable for tax purposes,” she explained. How the TIN system works According […]

N5.7bn Fraud: EFCC Moves to Seize Sujimoto CEO’s Assets

The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has secured a court order against Sijibomi Ogundele, CEO of Sujimoto Luxury Construction Limited, over alleged diversion of ₦5.7 billion meant for 22 Smart Green School projects in Enugu State. Ogundele, whose accounts and international passport had earlier been seized, is now facing remand while investigations continue. The EFCC may also seek a fresh court order to confiscate his personal and company assets. The anti-graft agency declared Ogundele wanted two weeks ago for alleged money laundering. He later took to social media, blaming inflation and “underpriced contracts” for failing to deliver the projects. The Enugu State Government, however, accused him of absconding after receiving a 50% mobilization fee of ₦5.76bn, abandoning sites, and refusing to attend project briefings. In a statement, the government said: Ogundele delivered only shoddy and structurally weak work at […]

Oyo Govt, UNICEF Push for Stronger Prosecution of FGM Cases

The Oyo State Government, in collaboration with the United Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF), has called for stronger prosecution of Female Genital Mutilation (FGM) cases across Edo, Ekiti, Ondo, Osun, and Oyo States. The demand was made at a 3-day Multi-sectoral Engagement meeting in Ibeju-Lekki, Lagos, which brought together law enforcement officers, judicial actors, NGOs, agencies, and religious leaders. The forum focused on improving justice responses and promoting survivor-centered approaches in tackling FGM. Speaking on behalf of Oyo’s Commissioner for Information, Prince Dotun Oyelade, Permanent Secretary Rotimi Babalola described the engagement as “timely,” stressing that despite existing laws such as the Violence Against Persons (Prohibition) Act (VAPP) and the Child Rights Law, the harmful practice persists. Babalola identified weak enforcement, low reporting, poor survivor protection, and fragmented inter-agency collaboration as major setbacks.
