The National Assembly has set an ambitious revenue target of N25 trillion for the Federal Inland Revenue Service (FIRS) in 2025.
This comes after the FIRS exceeded its 2024 revenue target of N19.4 trillion, generating N21.6 trillion.
Lawmakers commended the FIRS Chairman, Zacch Adedeji, for his outstanding performance.

It is achievable and even surpassable.”
