The Minister of Industry, Trade and Investment, Dr. Jumoke Oduwole, is convening a stakeholders’ forum to address concerns surrounding the annual Financial Reporting Council of Nigeria levy.
According to a statement by the Director of Press in the ministry, this engagement comes in direct response to concerns raised by the organized private sector and other key stakeholders and aims to facilitate dialogue with the Financial Reporting Council of Nigeria.
The forum, says the statement, scheduled to hold on Wednesday, March 26, 2025, in Abuja and streamed online, will serve as a platform for open dialogue and a review of the current framework.
In line with President Bola Tinubu’s 8-Point Agenda, the administration said it remains committed to being a listening government. This convening reflects the federal government’s broader commitment to transparency, fairness, and alignment with international best practices, with a strong focus on improving Nigeria’s business environment.
At the centre of the discussions are concerns regarding certain provisions, particularly the annual due structure for Public interest Entities ( PIEs) under the Financial Reporting Council Act (FRC) (Amendment) 2023.
