Adedeji introduces innovative reforms, says NFA

The NFA said Adedeji's innovative approach introduced significant reforms, positioning Nigeria's tax system among Africa's most progressive.

"Dr. Adedeji's focus on technology integration has transformed FIRS into a model for efficient revenue generation.

"What Dr Adedeji has done for Nigeria's tax administration is enormous; it touches so many aspects of what's done in Nigeria today, “ Idoko said.
