The Federal Inland Revenue Service (FIRS) has announced a groundbreaking achievement in revenue collection, reaching an impressive milestone of N12.3 trillion in 2023. This remarkable success was highlighted by FIRS Chief Executive, Zacch Adedeji, during the FIRS special day at the 35th Enugu International Trade Fair.

Represented by FIRS staff member, Mrs. Aisha Ribadu, Adedeji attributed this unprecedented progress to the organization’s commitment to nurturing and empowering its workforce. By equipping employees with the necessary skills, knowledge, and tools, FIRS has been able to excel in revenue collection.
