Tinubu names Zacch Adedeji acting FIRS chair

A special adviser to President Bola Tinubu on revenue, Zacch Adelabu Adelabu, has been named acting chairman of the Federal Inland Revenue Service.

Adedeji, who, at 33, was former Governor Abiola’s finance commissioner, was asked to fill the void created by the retirement leave of the outgoing chairman of the commission, Mohammed Nami, whose tenure ends in December 2023.

The certified accountant, an indigene of the Iwo-Ate area of Ogo-Oluwa Local Government of Oyo State, recently bagged his doctorate degree from the Obafemi Awolowo University, Ile-Ife, Nigeria.
