Kemi Adeosun, minister of finance, says Nigeria will realise over a billion dollars from the recent executive order signed by Acting President Yemi Osinbajo.
On Thursday, Osinbajo signed an executive order to give room for Nigerians to regularise their taxes.
Adeosun was speaking on the Sunrise Daily, a Channels television programme, on Monday.
She said after 15 months of work, it was discovered that there was massive tax evasion in the country.
The minister said many of those who are registered were not paying the right taxes.
“I have not set a specific target because it is very difficult, anything over a billion dollars would be great but let me just give you some context,” she said.
