The Federal Inland Revenue Service (FIRS) will be undergoing a major reorganization as the federal government approved a new organizational structure for the agency.
The Minister of Finance and Coordinating Minister for the Economy, Wale Edun, will unveil the new structure during a two-day strategic management meeting of the FIRS in Abuja.
In a statement issued by the special adviser on media to the FIRS chairman, Dare Adekanmbi, it was revealed that the aim of the meeting “is to ensure that all directors are fully informed and aligned with the strategic direction of the agency.”
Adekanmbi said: “The retreat will also engage with external stakeholders in government, professional bodies, and the organized private sector to discuss the renewed and refocused strategy of the FIRS.”
The theme of the strategic retreat is “Reimagining Tax Administration for Equity and Economic Growth.”
Dare Adekanmbi stated that “the chairman of the FIRS, Zacch Adedeji, has been spearheading a radical transformation in the values of the agency since assuming office. His vision is to make the FIRS more taxpayer-centric and a well-suited revenue-collecting agency.”
