Additionally, the session shared key compliance strategies to promote long-term financial sustainability.

The Managing Director/CEO, Leadway Pensure, Olusakin Labeodan reinforced Leadway’s leadership in shaping national conversations.

He said: “As a group, our role extends beyond simply providing financial services. We recognise the importance of empowering individuals, businesses, households, and the broader economy to utilise financial tools and policies for creating sustainable livelihoods. By bringing together platforms like this, we ensure that our stakeholders are not only well-informed but also equipped to succeed in an increasingly complex and dynamic regulatory environment.

Speaking during the webinar, Chairman of the Presidential Fiscal Policy and Tax Reforms Committee, Oyedele, explained that the reforms will put more money in the pockets of individuals, reduce the cost of doing business, and remove the barriers that make small companies uncompetitive.

“This means individuals will have more disposable income, and businesses can reinvest in growth rather than being weighed down by multiple taxes.”

He further emphasised the government’s focus on fairness and inclusivity.

“These reforms are not just about raising revenue; they are about creating a simpler, more transparent, and equitable tax system. If we get compliance right, we can unlock growth for businesses, strengthen the economy, and build public trust in the system”, he noted.

Fadipe on her part, highlighted Leadway’s role in driving clarity on such pressing issues.

“At Leadway, we recognise that reforms are only as effective as the understanding of those they affect. Our objective with this session was to break down the complexities of the new tax law and equip businesses and individuals with practical insights they can act on. We believe knowledge is the first step towards compliance and opportunity”, she added.
