President of the institute, Adesina Adedayo, while addressing the press recently stressed the significance of the celebration, given the institute’s achievements and contributions to the growth and development of Nigeria’s economy in its four decades of existence
He said, “From that period till date, the institute has grown in leaps and bounds, hence the reason for this celebration of our great institute. Noteworthy is the continuous effort of our founding fathers in conceptualizing the birth of the institute, the sustenance of its vision and mission and most importantly, the governance structure that has been able to manage the challenges, success and succession in leadership.
The CITN boss enthused about the consistency of the institute with the ideals of the vision that founded it, especially in the area of training, development and certification of qualified and competent members. “We do this through advisory, involvement and participation in activities geared towards improving the legislative, administrative and policy frameworks of tax education, administration and practice. We make informed input to government’s fiscal and tax policy direction and also update our members on emerging tax policy and related issues”.
