The Acting Executive Chairman of the Federal Capital Territory Internal Revenue Service (FCT-IRS), Mr Michael Ango, has called for a more robust partnership between the Service and Nigerian Financial Intelligence Unit (NFIU) to enhance tax compliance in the FCT.
Ango made the call when he paid a courtesy visit to the Chief Executive Officer of the NFIU, Hajiya Hafsa Abubakar, on Tuesday.
He explained that NFIU is one of the strategic stakeholders of the Service, hence the need for the visit in order to strengthen the existing collaboration for the mutual benefits of the two organisations.
He said the visit was part of engagements with the key stakeholders of the FCT-IRS of which NFIU is one, to solicit for support and cooperation with a view to enhance revenue collection and administration in the FCT.
