The Executive Chairman of the Federal Inland Revenue Service (FIRS) officially welcomed newly recruited personnel during an induction event held on Monday, June 2, 2025.
In his keynote remarks, the Chairman highlighted the vital contributions expected from the fresh employees in strengthening Nigeria’s economic foundation and ensuring fiscal sustainability.
“This marks not just the beginning of your employment, but the start of a profound journey — one in which your talents and commitment will shape the future of Nigeria’s financial architecture,” the Chairman said.
According to a press release issued by Arabinrin Aderonke Atoyebi, Technical Assistant to the Executive Chairman, the agency restated its commitment to overhauling tax operations using a strategy built on three foundational elements: People, Processes, and Technology.
The release outlined that this approach underpins the Service’s efforts to maintain institutional relevance, boost operational effectiveness, and contribute meaningfully to national development.
“Our people are our most valuable asset. The sustainability of all our systems depends on your competence, innovation, and integrity,” the Chairman affirmed.
He reiterated the importance of ongoing training and skills development, stressing that a knowledgeable and capable workforce is essential for building public confidence and increasing tax revenue.
He further explained that FIRS is continuously improving its internal systems to promote transparency and efficiency, while also leveraging advanced tools like artificial intelligence and data analytics to enhance taxpayer services and compliance efforts.
“Technology is not a substitute for competence, but a catalyst that enhances our ability to deliver results with speed and precision,” he said.

Quoting a Yoruba proverb, the Chairman reminded the new staff that tools and systems are ineffective without competent personnel.
“Without your innovation, commitment, and ownership, all tools and systems remain dormant,” he said.
He concluded by urging the inductees to uphold the highest standards of integrity and accountability.
“Every action you take reflects not only on you, but on the Service, and ultimately, on the nation.”
