The Nigerian Senate on Wednesday confirmed Muhammad Mamman Nami as Executive Chairman of the Federal Inland Revenue Service (FIRS)
His confirmation followed a satisfactory report by the Senate Committee Chairman on Finance, Senator Olamilekan Solomon Adeola which was presented to the plenary.
Other nominees of President Buhari who were confirmed representing the various zones of the country are:
James Yakwen Ayuba
Ado Danjuma
Adam Baba Mohammed
Ikene Osakwe
Adewale. Ogunyomade
Ehile Adetola Aibangbee
Meanwhile, representatives of the agencies of relevant MDAs are:
Ladidi Bara’atu Mohammed
Godwin I. Emefiele
Fatima Z. Hayatu
Maagbe S. Adaa
Umar Ajiya
DCG T. M. Isah
Speaking during Nami's confirmation, the Senate President, Dr Ahmad Ibrahim Lawan charged the board members to work in the interest of the country. He said the senate would continue to engage them on a quarterly basis to work on challenges confronting the agency in order to generate maximum revenues for the country.
Recall that the President, Muhammadu Buhari, had last week submitted the names of the above listed nominees to the Senate for confirmation following the expiration of the tenure of the Babatunde Fowler's led board. Although Fowler had written to the Presidency appealing for his reappointment, Nami's name was forwarded for confirmation. He had since handed over the administration of the Service.
