The All Progressives Congress (APC) has highlighted the Zacch Adedeji Taxation and Fiscal Policy Fellowship as an initiative aimed at equipping young Nigerians with the knowledge and skills needed to understand taxation and public finance.
The fellowship is expected to provide participants with valuable insights and exposure to taxation and fiscal policy, helping them develop a deeper understanding of how government revenue is generated, managed and utilised.
The initiative is also expected to encourage greater youth participation in conversations surrounding Nigeria’s economic development and fiscal management.
According to the APC, the programme represents an opportunity to nurture a new generation of informed young Nigerians who can contribute meaningfully to discussions and decisions shaping the country’s fiscal future.
Taxation and fiscal policy remain important aspects of national development, influencing government revenue, public spending, economic growth and the delivery of essential services.
By providing young people with access to relevant knowledge and practical exposure, the fellowship seeks to strengthen their capacity to understand these issues and engage constructively in policy discussions.
The party described the initiative as a step towards building a generation with a stronger appreciation of public finance and the role effective fiscal policies play in national development.
It further maintained that conversations around taxation and fiscal reforms remain important, particularly as Nigeria continues to pursue economic reforms and strengthen its revenue generation system.
The fellowship is therefore being presented as an opportunity to prepare young Nigerians to contribute to shaping the country’s fiscal future.
