The National Youth Council of Nigeria (NYCN), Isolo Local Branch, has launched a sensitization program on the upcoming tax reforms, aiming to educate leaders and members of Community-Based Organisations (CBOs) and Voluntary Youth Organisations (VYOs) on the new tax laws.

The event, “The Tax Reform Bills and You”,held on Friday, 19th December 2025 at the Isolo Community Hall, Akinbaiye, Lagos,featured tax experts who addressed misconceptions and grey areas in the bills.

The National Youth Council of Nigeria,Isolo Chairman, Damilola Kushimo,in his welcome speech stated that the program is aimed to familiarise the youths with the new tax policies and provide answers to questions ahead of the January 1st implementation.

“This programme is in a testament to our commitment to deliver on the mandate given to us and part of which is to be the vanguard of advocacy and public enlightenment on important policies.”

“There are a lot of misconceptions about the tax bills, and to forestall the anxiety that has rented the air as we draw closer to January 1st, when the bills will become effective, there is a need to deepen grassroots enlightenment hence the need for this programme.”

“There is no denying that the attendees have bettered their understanding of the tax bills, and it is our expectation that they will pass the knowledge on to other members of their respective associations,” Kushimo said.

He appreciated the Executive Chairman of Isolo LCDA, Hon. Olasoju Adebayo, for his immense contributions towards the success of the programme, as well as other stakeholders who supported the event.

Speaking with newsmen,the State Chairman of the youth umbrella body, Engr. Adigun Ibrahim Olalekan,who was ably represented by the Vice Chairman, Lagos West, Comrade David Aladeotan, commended the local branch for domesticating public enlightenment on the new fiscal policy, recalling a similar programme organised by the state chapter earlier in the year.

Adigun went further to commend the Kushimo-led executives for hitting the ground running without much ado and urged them to work tirelessly to deliver on their administrative responsibilities.
