Acting Executive Chairman, Federal Inland Revenue Service, Mr. Babatunde Fowler, has pledged to use appropriate partnership with stakeholders to raise the tax revenue to a ‘record high.’
Fowler in a statement issued by the FIRS and signed by the Assistant Director, Communications & Servicom Department, Nneka Ifekwuna, said My vision and mission are neither to alter the existing management organogram structure in FIRS nor lay off management staff, but to take FIRS as well as the nation’s tax system to an enviable height.
“This we cannot achieve all alone without a robust partnership and collaboration of all stakeholders within and outside the system.
“We must build a synergy for a healthy exchange of information between FIRS and SBIR.
“This synergy will produce the best form of revenue generation in the FIRS and the states in general as well as ensuring that overdependence on oil revenue becomes a thing of the past.”
