Less than a month after it commenced its substitution of accounts of recalcitrant billionaires who have not been paying commensurate taxes, the Federal Inland Revenue Service, FIRS, has announced the collection of twelve-point-six billion naira in tax revenue from this category of Nigerians.
The Executive Chairman of the FIRS, Tunde Fowler, stated this when he received the new Minister of Finance, Hajia Zainab Ahmed, during her spot visit to the Revenue House in Abuja.
The minister commended the agency for raising the non-oil revenue and assured that the Ministry of Finance will continue to work collaboratively with the FIRS to support all its effort. Ahmed urged the FIRS to maintain the tempo, saying that the entire country depends on its work of increasing revenue collection to support the government.
