SENATE CONFIRMS ADEDEJI AS FIRS BOSS.

The Senate has confirmed the nomination of Mr Zak Adedeji as Chairman of the Federal Inland Revenue Service (FIRS).

Appearing at the upper chamber for his screening on Tuesday, Adedeji revealed his plans to improve the nation’s revenue, referring to the dearth of information in the oil and gas sector.

According to him, the core problem in the country is that of proper data, adding that developing data upon which decisions will be made is fundamental.

He said effort would be made on the exact number of vessels of crude brought into the county and the concomitant tax. The data would be used to identify those in affluence who pay insufficient tax, the FIRS boss added.

Mr Adedeji also promised to block all Leakages in the system in order to get more revenue for the Federal government.

FIRS boss vowed to centralize the identification system in Nigeria and advance the nation’s data mining capacity.
