Consequently, the president on Friday approved the appointment of Mr. Michael Hadi Ango as the Acting Chairman of the FCT-IRS.
As Acting Chairman of the FCT-IRS, Mr. Ango will oversee the implementation of strategic initiatives to enhance revenue generation and ensure fiscal sustainability. His appointment comes at a crucial time as the FCT-IRS seeks to expand its revenue base, improve taxpayer compliance, and streamline operations for greater efficiency and effectiveness.

A statement released by the director of press in the office of the FCT minister, Anthony Ogunleye, revealed that “Mr. Ango brings his wealth of experience and a proven track record in revenue administration, financial management, and organizational leadership.”
