Nigeria has relied solely on oil revenue over the years. However, in view of the recent decline on oil revenue there is the urgent need to diversify the Nigerian economy through non-oil revenue. Tax revenue is a key component of non-oil revenue. The 2015 budget was the first to be driven by non-oil revenue. The paper seeks to examine alternative measures to over reliance on oil revenue in Nigeria and proffered suggestions that could be used as a blue print for diversifying the Nigerian economy. The original article was published in a book titled "Topical Issues on Nigerian Tax Laws and Related Areas, J.A.A Agbonika PhD (Ed) (2015) chapter 4 pp 81-99". I am currently a doctoral researcher with the University of South Africa, this motivated to contribute this chapter in view of the economic recession in Nigeria.
