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.

Why is northern Nigeria not generating revenue for the rest of the country to spend?

NORTHERN NIGERIA ALWAYS WANT THE SOUTHERN PART TO GENERATE THE REVENUE WHY THEY SPEND IT.

They have a reckless birth control system fired up by blind religious belief where an alhaja or malam will have many wives and countless number of children.

They should know now that the south is tired of all this their conducts.

NIGERIA DEFINATELY NEEDS TO BE RESTRUCTURED.

Let the geopolitical zones or the states face their own economic matters based on what they finds in their own land.

If it is to sell chewing stick, sell chewing stick to run your own government.

THERE SHOULD BE A STOP TO THIS FEDERAL ALLOCATION SYSTEM.

It is not even sustainable going by the global realities that Nigeria is stucked with.

I still wonder how com dis govt now has a revenue problem previous govts did not have since they resumed office. Dis is even with reported surge in revenue from the generating agencies.
Is it that the revenue recovery, increase, savings etc have all been lies or the expenditure they brought with them is to high for the revenue to handle?
This also goes to show why it's risky to simply inflate a budget or centralise govt accounts as these two good lead to clumsiness in government expenditure such that real and nominal values start to interchange

We are so attached to Religious, ethnicity politics in this country. I remember when Fowler was appointed, the same people calling the president names were same people who were saying Tinubu boy has just been appointed to enrich Tinubu more.... Same when Muiz Banire was appointed all they keep saying is another Yoruba Muslim! Tinubu boy!! Islamic party!!!. Emiefele my brother was reappointed and everywhere seems to be normal. Remember Emiefele was appointed after Sanusi a Northernern was sacked before his tenure and yet a president from northern part of the country still went ahead and reappoint someone who succeed a sacked Northernern like him.

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..........






Lol cheesy
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.


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 2 odds with the National Budget! cheesy
Warever dat means!

Somehow, somehow, this Garba Shehu has become the biggest embarrassment to tPresident Buhari, with his many, many gaffes of recent!
From his idiotic comment about the DSS being above the law on the Sowore matter, to his poke-nosing on the President's wife family affairs, to the nonsensical statements that every Govt must have a Cabal rulling the country by proxy, and now to this senseless comment about Fowler when it is a matter of RECORD and FACT that Fowler collected record-high revenue in his last year in office, Garba Shehu is definitely on Tramadol mixed with Oshogbo weed!

Let us see how much the Mallam he used to replace Fowler, will generate in his first term, despite having to reap some of the new policies and transformations that Fowler has just introduced.

You know, it is said that "It is better to keep quiet, so that people will assume you are smart, than to open your mouth and keep saying foolish things".
Garba Shehu needs to shut his bloody mouth NOW NOW., Stop embarassing our President and nation.
