President Muhammadu Buhari has warmly felicitated with the Executive Chairman of the Federal Inland Revenue Service (FIRS), Muhammad Mamman Nami on his 55th birthday.
He praised him for making commendable efforts to raise government revenues, especially at this time of great need.
The President noted that the leadership and guidance of Nami has repositioned operations and staff of the agency, using technological tools to institute far more transparency, accountability, and effectiveness, which had, in turn, translated into the increased capacity to deliver on mandate with results manifestly seen.
The President commended the Executive Chairman 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.
In a statement by the Senior Special Assistant to the President (Media & Publicity), Garba Shehu, Buhari prayed for the well-being of the Executive Chairman and his family.
