New FIRS Chairman Condemns Fowler’s Management

The newly appointed Chairman of the Federal Inland Revenue Service (FIRS), Muhammad Nami, launched a veiled criticism of his predecessor in office, Babatunde Fowler, on Monday accusing his management of superintending a steady decline in revenue collection by the service since the inception of his tenure in 2015.

It was meant to be the new chairman’s first Christmas message and felicitation to the revenue service staff since his assumption of office on December 19; however, he used the message to carry out a performance assessment of Mr Fowler’s management, accusing it of failing to maintain the “impressive performance” the agency recorded since 2011, with 2012 as the benchmark year for outstanding performance.

Reviewing the performance and workforce of the service between 2011 and 2019, Mr Nami took a jab at Mr Fowler, saying “despite the rise in Service workforce, the engagement of consultants, the rise in inflation and the exchange rates, the tax revenue collection (of the FIRS) continues to dwindle.”

Commending the FIRS staffers for “displaying the spirit of steadfastness, resilience, perseverance and deftness in the discharge of your assigned responsibilities,” he urged then to use the yuletide holiday to ponder over the past and resolve to resume refreshed and better prepared to serve, Premium Times reports.
He also made reference to 2012, three years before Mr Fowler’s appointment, as the best year for the FIRS.“As a result of your uncommon commitment to duty, 2012 especially, you were able to raise Five Trillion, Seven Billion Naira even without active participation of consultants and with moderate inflation and exchange rates. I want to be positive that this impressive performance is achievable again,” the Chairman said.

Virtually everything is messed up under the Burahi administration, from extreme poverty to daily untimely death due to poor road, nepotism in political appointments, corruption, police brutality, human right violation, no respect for rule of law, increase in national debt, war against freedom of speech etc.

To be honest, the worst PDP government is better than this APC government.

Useless Fowler, always hyping himself. Tinubu's ATM, should we be surprised that despite the increased efforts and tax base revenue increment, yet we have a dwindled revenue.

That's how they want to rule this country in 2023 so that they will fret away our National treasury with bullion van, and later they will ask us " is it your money"?

Welcome on board. Kindly do what is right now that you are there. Blaming things can't and won't help you either.

We await the magic wand of Nami. And hope firs will also stop squeezing ropes around existing tax payers trying to get water out of stones. Bring more tax payers into the tax net!

Prosecute him if he is found guilty

Oga Nami, it is your turn to do your bit. Stop complaining about your predecessor and get to work. Thank you.

I just observe that anyone out of favour with the president is automatically a hero fo ipob clowns.

Fowler is now their hero
They love dasuki but hate buratai (both northern muslims)

They love Obaseki but hate oshiomole.

It's expected. Since the COS had already queried Fowler, he'll want to impress his masters.

Better get to work Mr. Man and let's see what you can do differently

Ok

You've no work or set a precedence yet you're condemning someone that was exception irrespective of his shortcomings.Perhaps another dunce on the block but because of nepotism you came on board.

Normal trend another person would blame Nami too.

Next please

Ok

This aboki that couldn't pass ICAN is trying to impress his fellow idiots.

Lol

Before nko, shey he should hype him ni, a won oniyeye

hehe.
This is just d beginning.

It is now your duty to raise it up again as the new chairman so that the country would be proud of you when you leave. There would also be a reasonable reason as to why Mr Flower was not reappointed

Aboki

Hmmmm, so 2012 was the best year?

Now you are there let see how your own time will be.
