The CIO & C-Suite Conference and Awards 2025 is set to hold on November 22 focusing on the digital tax shift.
The event billed to take place at the Civic Centre, Victoria Island, Lagos, will be addressing the fact that technology adoption in tax administration improves compliance, reduces collection costs, and increases revenue.
Rwanda’s Electronic Single Window and Kenya’s iTax platform stand as successful examples.
Nigeria has followed suit with TaxPro Max, launched in 2021, and from August 1, 2025, enterprises with turnovers above ₦5 billion have been mandated to adopt real-time e-invoicing. The legislation is in place, the platforms are live, but critical questions remain: Are organizations adopting the right technology, and do they have the systems, skills, and strategies to make these reforms truly work.?
The CIO & C-Suite Conference 2025 will confront these questions directly. The event aims to bridge the widening gap between policy and execution, the space where enterprises either thrive or struggle.
According to the organisers, the programme will bring together Africa’s top CIOs, CTOs, CFOs, CCOs, CROs, CDOs, policymakers, and digital pioneers to exchange practical insights on building smarter, more agile systems for a rapidly changing business environment.
The speaker lineup will feature some of the continent’s most respected thought leaders. Ayodele Subair, Executive Chairman of the Lagos State Internal Revenue Service (LIRS), will deliver the keynote address on “Building a Smart Tax Ecosystem.” Also to be featured are Premier Oiwoh, CEO of Nigeria Inter-Bank Settlement System (NIBSS), and Olukunle Ogunbamowo, Tax Partner at Deloitte, alongside several distinguished experts who will lead discussions under the theme: “Tax Meets Tech: Africa’s Leap to a Digital Economy.”
The one-day conference will culminate in the CIO & C-Suite Awards Night, a celebration of excellence in digital transformation and leadership. The Awards recognize individuals and organizations driving innovation across multiple sectors.
Over the years, the CIO & C-Suite platform has become a defining space for enterprise.
If recent conversations in Africa’s tech and business circles are any indication, all eyes are on the CIO & C-Suite Conference and Awards 2025.
