“This initiative recognises the growing public appetite for clear and accessible information on tax reforms and fiscal policy,” the statement said, thanking members of the public who participated in the nomination process.
Organisers encouraged Nigerians to help notify the shortlisted creators by tagging or mentioning them on social media platforms.
