Abuja, Nigeria — The Chairman of the Federal Inland Revenue Service (FIRS), Dr. Zacch Adedeji, on Monday inaugurated a team of “Engaged Consultants for the Revenue Recovery Exercise” to spearhead the recovery of unremitted revenues across the Nigerian economy.

The initiative, which also aims to boost inflows into the Federation Account, was launched in Abuja in collaboration with the Revenue Mobilisation, Allocation and Fiscal Commission (RMAFC).

Dr. Adedeji, represented by FIRS Coordinating Director, Mr. Shettima Tamadi, reaffirmed the Service’s commitment to effective partnership with RMAFC to realise the objectives of the revenue recovery programme.

“Nigeria has a huge revenue gap, but with stronger collaboration between agencies and partners, we can bridge that gap and achieve sustainable fiscal growth,” Adedeji stated.

Speaking at the event, RMAFC Chairman, Dr. Mohammed Shehu, emphasised the commission’s determination to strengthen fiscal governance and ensure that all revenues due to the federation are fully accounted for and duly remitted into the national coffers.

Both agencies expressed optimism that the exercise would enhance transparency, accountability, and efficiency in Nigeria’s fiscal system.
