FG Seeks Public Input for 2027 Finance Bill Drafting

The Federal Government of Nigeria, through the Federal Ministry of Finance, has called for inputs from Nigerians and stakeholders for the drafting of the Finance Bill 2027. This initiative aims to gather proposals that focus on practical, evidence-based legislative or regulatory reforms to strengthen Nigeria’s fiscal framework and enhance the business and investment environment.

The ministry's notice, titled “Call for Inputs into the Finance Bill 2027: Shaping Better Fiscal Laws for a More Productive and Competitive Nigeria,” emphasizes the importance of sustainable economic growth. Stakeholders are invited to submit proposals in five key areas: taxation and revenue administration, fiscal policy and management, fiscal responsibility, transparency and accountability, financial and economic regulation, and other related matters.

The ministry encourages submissions that address gaps in existing laws, reduce regulatory burdens, and improve fiscal transparency. The deadline for submissions was not specified in the notice.
