The National Youth Council of Nigeria (NYCN) has applauded the Federal Inland Revenue Service (FIRS) for cracking down on tax defaulters and boosting tax revenue in the country.

Solomon Adodo, national president of the NYCN gave the commendation while speaking at a media briefing in Abuja.

He said the FIRS is being proactive in generating revenue and takes its mandate very seriously.

Adodo said: “The determination of the Nami-led FIRS to go after some big and hitherto untouchable tax offenders has continued to gain traction,”

“For example, many businesses that either did not pay taxes or did not pay the correct amount have been made to pay under the very deliberate programme of the management.”

He added: “We must not forget in a hurry that recently FIRS came down heavily on some notable big tax offenders and made them pay their outstanding tax liabilities,”

“And so, every attempt made by such tax defaulters to intimidate FIRS to make it shirk its patriotic duty was firmly and roundly rebuffed.

“We know that some people somewhere would wish to continue with their tax crimes. But we say a big NO to that. It is about time that, as Nigerians, we focused on development instead of petty politics.”
