The lawmaker representing Oyo central senatorial district, Yunus Akintunde has lauded the remarkable achievements of the Chairman of the Federal Inland Revenue Service (FIRS), Zacch Adedeji in his one year in office.
Akintunde, in a personally signed statement to Adedeji, who he said is one of his constituents, explained that anyone who is close to the revenue boss would attest to his high work ethics and knack for achievements, even in difficult places.
According to the lawmaker who was commissioner for works and transport when Adedeji was handling finance under the administration of late former governor Abiola Ajimobi in Oyo State, President Bola Tinubu would be proud of his tremendous contributions to the economic development of the country.
“The last one year at the Federal Inland Revenue Service (FIRS), has been marked by many achievements. I am not surprised at all. I was one of those who told people, especially my colleagues in the National Assembly that this man was going to perform and he has not let the nation down. To say I am proud of this my constituent is an understatement because to serve the country at this difficult time and succeed is no mean feat.
“The country, more than ever, is in need of revenue to put in place infrastructure, revamp education, facelift health system and others. This is because returns from oil that we depended largely hasn’t been like before. I recall how FIRS under Zacch Adedeji has been doing well. From surpassing the target last year to restructuring at the Service, introduction of new tax collection tools as well as workers’ welfare. I have no doubt in my mind that FIRS, under the supervision of my brother, would do better this year and the coming years.
“I want to use this occasion to tell him that he has been a good ambassador of our senatorial district and Oyo State. He’s providing a direct and indirect mentorship to those coming after him with the achievements in his current and previous assignments. He is indeed one of the poster boys of this administration and I make bold to say President Bola Tinubu would be proud of him,” Akintunde added.
