The Yobe State Solutions for Internally Displaced Persons and Host Communities (SOLID) Project has conducted an in-house training for its staff on the New Nigerian Tax Law, as part of ongoing efforts to strengthen institutional capacity and ensure full compliance with prevailing fiscal regulations.
In a statement issued and made available to newsmen by the information and communication officer of the project Ali Musa Yawale said the one-day training, held at the SOLID Project Office in Damaturu, brought together relevant project staff to enhance their understanding of the provisions, implications, and operational requirements of the new tax regime, particularly as they relate to public-sector project implementation
Speaking at the opening session, the Project Coordinator, Suleiman Dauda described the training as a strategic capacity-building initiative aimed at equipping staff with the knowledge required to uphold professionalism, accountability, and effective service delivery.
Mr Dauda noted that continuous reforms in tax administration make it essential for institutions to regularly update the skills and awareness of their personnel.
According to him, strengthening staff understanding of the tax framework is critical not only for compliance but also for reinforcing sound financial management practices, transparency, and credibility in the execution of project activities.
