The House of Representatives Committee on Finance says it is satisfied with the pace and quality of work at the Federal Inland Revenue Service (FIRS) permanent site in Abuja.
The Chairman, House Committees on Finance, Rep. James Faleke (APC-Lagos state) at an oversight visit to the site on Tuesday, commended the management for being pragmatic.
“For us, we can only commend the management and staff of the FIRS and of course, the contractor, CCECC for a job well done.
“We have seen the work; it is well designed. And where there was need for amendment or questions, we have asked and the answers were provided. So, we are satisfied with what we’ve seen and we say kudos to the FIRS,” he said.
He said that 16-storey building structure project which began in 2011 is now 65 per cent complete under the current management within one year.
Faleke pledged the committee’s continued support for the service to deliver on its mandate adding that FIRS was critical in the economic development of the nation.
Earlier, the Executive Chairman of FIRS, Mr. Zacch Adedeji commended the lawmakers for being supportive of the organisation.
He assured the lawmakers that under his leadership, the FIRS will continue to deliver on its target and judiciously implement its budgets. (NAN)
