President Muhammadu Buhari has sent warm felicitations to the Executive Chairman of the Federal Inland Revenue Service, FIRS, Muhammad Nami on his 55th birthday.
Buhari, in a statement by his Senior Special Assistant on Media and Publicity, Garba Shehu, praised Nami for making commendable efforts to raise government revenues, especially at this time of great need.
The president noted that the leadership and guidance of the FIRS chairman has “repositioned operations and staff of the agency, using technological tools to institute far more transparency, accountability, and effectiveness, which has, in turn, translated into the increased capacity to deliver on mandate with results manifestly seen.”
He further commended Nami “for bringing many years of experience in financial services to bear on the foremost tax regulator, with a growing impact on the economy, especially as the government expands and prioritizes infrastructure development.”
He also prayed for the well-being of the Executive Chairman and his family.
