The Senate has approved 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.

He promised that most of the leakages would be halted. 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.

His confirmation is coming over a month after President Bola Tinubu appointed him, his Special Adviser on Revenue.

BEFORE then, Tinubu had directed the erstwhile FIRS Chairman MUHAMMAD NAMI to proceed on three months of pre-retirement leave.
