“My task here is to further deepen Mr President’s reforms in the fiscal space in Nigeria.
“We are all aware that the country is undergoing some significant reforms in the area of the economy, the fiscal space and of course taxation.
“One of the important things the president wants to achieve in this regard is to ensure that all the sub-nationals have fiscal independence, and that they are able to cater for themselves.
“Abuja, the Federal Capital Territory is an integral part of the nation, and the Minister of FCT has a vision to transform Abuja into a world class capital city.
“The FCT-IRS is therefore a very important institution for actualising the minister’s vision, and one which has the potential to significantly raise revenue for the FCT,” he said.
Ango urged employees to take deliberate steps to uphold the integrity of the service.
He also promised to create a positive, supportive and productive work environment for the employees.
