FIRS: Garba Shehu Reveals Why Fowler Was Not Reappointed by valentineuwakwe(m): 7:38am On Dec 23, 2019 |
The Presidency has said that Babatunde Fowler’s tenure as chairman of the Federal Inland Revenue Service (FIRS), was not renewed because of his inability to generate enough revenue for the country. Fowler, whose term of office expired on December 9, 2019, was replaced by Muhammad Nami. President Muhammadu Buhari’s Senior Special Assistant on Media, Garba Shehu, while speaking with journalists at the weekend in Abuja, also said that it was not wrong for the federal government to borrow more money to finance infrastructure in the country. “It is not a scandal to borrow, the bad thing about borrowing is when you deployed it to your pocket. This has happened in the past in this country, President Buhari is borrowing to do railway, to do East-West expressway, to do second Niger bridge, to do Mabilla power, to do Abuja-Kano expressway, to do Ajaokuta-Abuja gas pipeline. “These are projects that are beneficial to the economy, these are basic infrastructure projects – railway, power – without which this country cannot achieve development. “So, if you ask me, from my own understanding, the problem we have in this country is the revenue issue. We have a revenue problem because we are unable to generate as much money as it is needed to do more capital infrastructure and also service debt. “Because of the low revenue earnings, people look at the size of our debt repayment and they scream. But government is doing something about this and I’m happy you have seen the change that has happened in FIRS, give them a chance, let see how they would perform. Government is optimistic that things will look upward and the revenue will improve. And once there is inflow that is sufficient to do a lot of these things, we may not even need to borrow,” Shehu said. source: https://dailypost.ng/2019/12/23/firs-presidency-finally-opens-up-on-why-fowler-was-removed/ 4 Likes 3 Shares

This is unbelievable!!!! In the history of FIRS till date, Tunde Fowler deployed innovative ideas and measures which ultimately generated trillion of naira during his tenure as the chairman of FIRS and this was commended and confirmed by the Presidency itself. Let's see how much the "favoured candidate" would generate. This country sha 67 Likes 2 Shares |

This is plain stupid & untrue.This same government was busy declaring high revenue turnout by FIRS before now so what later happened? This is how this govt kill productivity. So Babatunde Fowler is the only most incompetent fella who failed to meet the policy objective of his agency in the period under review? The man was simply removed because of the core nepotic agenda of the presidency cabal of this useless govt. 52 Likes 3 Shares |

Muiz Banire and Mr Fowler thank you so much for doing your part to move our nation forward in the guidance of our darling President Sane Nigerians, learn from this message from Mr Muiz, One of the best message we have read from a Nigerian politician. Ignore the foolishness of wailers, that are crying more than the people that left after finishing their tenure, frustrated souls. Here you have the beautifully written Thank you message..........
dukeprince50:Lol Da Prince, take am easy o, No beat people pikin as a President biko. Ignoring those frustrated souls, kill them more. Most of them have nothing going for them in life anymore, Since the easy corrupt money they depended on stopped flowing, since EFCC are after the fraudsters, why won't they hate the President? The good thing is that whether they like it or not, God will always be with our darling daddy in all he does. God bless you DukePrince50. It will end in praise. Orissodiq:Hmmmmm, your post is deep and thoughtful. Only the wise can understand it. You are a very wise man. Mr Sodiq, Talking about the bolded part/question in your post, we asked a group of wailers the other day what they will do if they are the President, Guess the answer they gave us ??!! They all chorused they will play [color=#990000]2 odds with the National Budget! Warever dat means! We just smiled, left their midst to concentrate on our Barbecue on the Grills jejely! 8 Likes 3 Shares |
