Sanyade Okoli, Special Advisor to the Minister, Federal Ministry of Finance, Nigeria at FFD Forum
At the 2026 FFD Forum plenary session “Country strategies and platforms” on 24 April 2026, Ms. Sanyade Okoli, Special Advisor to the Minister of Finance, Federal Ministry of Finance, Nigeria, presented Nigeria’s approach to the Sevilla Commitment as a practical reform agenda aligned with the country’s economic transformation objectives.
The speech highlights Nigeria’s recent fiscal reforms, including four major tax reform laws, a development levy, digitalisation of revenue systems, stronger treasury transparency and tighter controls to reduce leakages. It frames the INFF as a tool for coherence, linking the National Development Plan, budgeting, fiscal spending and the medium-term expenditure framework. The intervention also points to state-level INFF pilots that are improving revenue mobilisation and strengthening investment pipelines, while acknowledging ongoing coordination challenges across federal and subnational systems.
