Edun, who is also the Coordinating Minister of the Economy, said this on Wednesday in Abuja, at the opening of the 2024 Strategic Management Retreat of the Federal Inland Revenue Service (FIRS). The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that the theme of the retreat is “Re-imagining To Tax Administration for Equity and Economic Growth.”
According to Edun, tax plays an integral role in the government’s quest to boost revenue that will help bridge the infrastructure deficit, and build social safety nets that will cater to ordinary Nigerians. He commended the management of the FIRS for its commitment towards meeting its set revenue target.
“It is commendable that the FIRS is holding this retreat at the beginning of the year to rub minds on how to increase government revenue.
