 The Senate has screened and confirmed the appointment of Zac Adedeji as chairman of the Federal Inland Revenue Service FIRS. The screening and confirmation was conducted during Tuesday's plenary, two weeks after President Bolatinin Buu appointed his former special advisor on revenue, Adedeji as the new FIRS chairman. Zac Adedeji attributed the primary issue facing the nation to a lack of accurate data and stressed the importance of gathering information before making judgments. He claimed it would provide for adequate information on the precise number of assets carrying oil coming into the country. In fact, what are we going to do to all these leakages, most especially considering that we rely so much on oil revenue and the way they are. Now, what I will say is that wonderful attempts have been made to make sure that we correct all the fiscal imbalances that we inherited in oil and gas by passage of PIE, which is majorly putting the fiscal structure in place. So if that law is properly followed, I think most of the leakages we have in oil and gas today will definitely go. This is the case. The Senate in the Committee of the Whole considered the request of Mr. President, Commander-in-Chief of the Federal Republic of Nigeria for the confirmation of Mr. Zac Adedeji, FCA for appointment as chairman, Federal Inland Revenue Service. The nominee answered questions on taxation on economy and other topical issues. Thereafter, the Senate approved the nomination of Mr. Zac Adedeji as chairman, Federal Inland Revenue Service, FIRS. Is this a true reflection of what transpired in the Committee of the Whole?
