The Federal Inland Revenue Service (FIRS) on Tuesday, May 13, 2025, inaugurated the FIRS Sub-Technical Committee on Revenue Mobilisation Allocation and Fiscal Commission (RMAFC) at its headquarters in Abuja. The initiative, led by FIRS Executive Chairman Dr. Zacch Adedeji, marks a significant step toward reinforcing inter-agency collaboration in internal revenue monitoring.
The newly established committee, comprising senior officials from both FIRS and RMAFC, is poised to create a unified front in tracking and managing internal revenue. Dr. Adedeji emphasized the importance of the partnership, stating that strengthening ties between both agencies would not only improve operational synergy but also enhance Nigeria’s economic stability and fiscal discipline.
Speaking during the inauguration, Dr. Adedeji noted that the formation of the committee signals a transformative shift in how revenue collection and allocation are handled, aiming to close gaps, eliminate redundancies, and ensure transparency in public finance management. The engagement with the Internal Revenue Monitoring Committee (IRMC), a subunit of RMAFC, further reinforced the shared commitment to leveraging technical expertise for national development.
