During a courtesy visit to the EFCC headquarters in Abuja on Tuesday, the FIRS Executive Chairman, Zacch Adedeji, highlighted the importance of inter-agency synergy in building trust and sustaining Nigeria’s fiscal stability.
“We cannot pursue 200 million Nigerians individually to do the right thing, but we want to put a system in place that will aid compliance.
“You can help us by letting people know that when they violate the law, there is a place you can keep them. On behalf of the President and Nigerians, we thank you for your support and seek even deeper cooperation”, Adedeji said.
Adedeji stressed that voluntary compliance thrives when taxpayers see visible results from government spending.
“The main advertisement of voluntary compliance is when people begin to see what we use the money we collect for,” he explained.
“In achieving that goal, you are critical—not just in arresting defaulters but in supporting our Department of Fraud Risk, Assessment and Control to ensure value for money.”
