The president in a statement by his spokesman, Ajuri Ngelale, extolled the fine defining qualities of the young first-class graduate of accounting who steadily rose through the ranks in public service by dint of hard work, loyalty, and competence, noting his service as the commissioner of finance in Oyo State at the age of 33; the chief executive officer of the National Sugar Development Council (NSDC); special adviser to the president on revenue, and now chief executive officer of the nation’s apex tax authority.

“Zacch is an innovator who consistently turns his creative ideas into change-making actions. He is a disciple of the ‘think-and-do’ school of changemakers.
He will reform Nigeria’s tax system for the benefit of Nigerians. Give him a task, and it will be done and done well,” the President states.

Tinubu wished the FIRS chairman more strength and zeal in the discharge of his duties.
Also, Tinubu has celebrated business titan, Ambassador Gilbert Chagoury, as he marks his birthday today.
The president in a statement by presidential spokesman, Ajuri Ngelale appreciated Ambassador Chagoury’s consistency and reliability demonstrated throughout his storied career, noting his desire to see Nigeria rise to the highest of heights in all spheres of human endeavour.

The president recalled how the Chagoury family kept faith with Africa’s largest economy by continually investing in various projects and philanthropic activities over the decades, irrespective of all the socio-political challenges that characterized the road to the nation’s return to civilian rule in 1999 and beyond.
