FIRS Seeks Stakeholders’ Support On N8.5trn Revenue Target

The Federal Inland Revenue Service is seeking the support of stakeholders in achieving its 2020 revenue target of N8.5tn.

The Executive Chairman, FIRS, Muhammad Nami, sought the support during a national tour of the six geo-political zones to sensitise the nation, especially taxpayers, on the 2019 Finance Act.

The first leg of the tour started on Monday in the South-West where Nami met the Ogun State Governor, Mr Dapo Abiodun, as well as FIRS officials from Ogun, Oyo and Osun states in Abeokuta, the Ogun State capital.

Nami, according to a statement from the FIRS, is on the tour with a select group of top FIRS management staff as well as the member representing the South-West on the FIRS Board, Chief Wale Ogunyomade.
