The Federal Inland Revenue Service (FIRS) on Sunday shared a post on X saying: "Jesus paid your debts, not your taxes", local media reported.
The now-deleted post was denounced by a number of Christian organisations, which demanded that the tax agency apologise.
The Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN), an umbrella group, said the message was “offensive and derogatory to the Christian faith”.
The association's National Director Abimbola Ayuba also complained that the post continued a pattern of "provocative messages around religious holidays".
In the apology issued on Tuesday, FIRS spokesperson Dare Adekanmbi said the post was not intended to detract from the significance of Easter.
"The message was our way of uniquely engaging taxpayers and to remind them of the need to prioritise payment of their taxes as a civic obligation," he added.
Christianity is one of Nigeria's main religions and is practiced by nearly half of the country.
