A statement announcing Akinsola’s appointment reveals that he “brings nearly two decades of experience in growth, operations, and business development within the African tech ecosystem’.

‘He has a proven track record of launching and scaling businesses, including leading the growth and eventual acquisition of QuickBus in Nigeria and other markets,” it added.

In his new role, Akinsola will spearhead Nigerian operations, working with regulators, enterprises, and the broader ecosystem to ensure the smooth adoption of e-invoicing under the FIRS MBS platform.

“Building on its success across Africa, where it supports over 800 businesses processing millions of invoices, DigiTax positions itself as a trusted compliance partner for Nigerian enterprises navigating the digital transition, emphasizing data protection, security, and reliability,” the statement added.

The DigiTax Nigeria-ready suite offers real-time invoice validation fully aligned with FIRS requirements.

To simplify adoption, the platform provides a free Testing and Sandbox environment and supports powerful integrations with major systems like SAP, MS Dynamics, Oracle, Sage, and QuickBooks, consolidating all activity within a customer’s existing ERP or accounting system.

“Nigeria is a key market for DigiTax, and this accreditation by FIRS is a strong validation of our pan-African expertise,” said Caine Wanjau, CEO of DigiTax.

“We look forward to working with all businesses in Nigeria to support them on this journey.”
