Taiwo Oyedele, who was recently appointed as the chairman of the presidential committee on fiscal policy and tax reforms, has resigned from his position at PriceWaterhouseCoopers (PwC).
Prior to his appointment by President Bola Tinubu on July 7, Oyedele held the role of fiscal policy partner and Africa tax leader at PwC.
In a tweet, Oyedele announced his decision to leave PwC after more than twenty years of service.
He cited the need to avoid any potential conflict of interest and to fully dedicate himself to his new assignment as the Chair of the Presidential Fiscal Policy & Tax Reform Committee, which he considers an important national duty.
Oyedele’s committee, along with its members, has been tasked with crucial responsibilities, including enhancing revenue collection, improving efficiency, and ensuring transparent reporting.
Additionally, they are focused on promoting the effective use of tax and other revenues to boost tax morale among citizens, foster a healthy tax culture, and encourage voluntary compliance.
