President Bola Tinubu has sent his congratulations to Dr. Zacch Adedeji, Chairman of the Nigeria Revenue Service (NRS), on the occasion of his birthday.
The President praised Adedeji for his outstanding leadership of the 83-year-old revenue agency, highlighting his drive for innovation, the integration of global best practices, system automation, and the continuous capacity building of staff in service of national development.
In a statement issued by his Special Adviser on Information and Strategy, Bayo Onanuga, President Tinubu was quoted as saying: “I salute the NRS Chairman for his visionary and charismatic dedication in restructuring, aligning and managing the revenue profile of the country.
“He recorded a historic achievement, meeting the budget targets in the Third Quarter of 2025, and stimulating the economy for prosperity.
“Zacch has also been instrumental in the adoption of the National Single Window, a transformative federal digital platform to streamline import and export processes, enhance transparency and reduce cargo clearance from 21 days to one week,” the President remarked.
Before his current role, Dr. Adedeji was a senior executive at Procter & Gamble, served as Commissioner of Finance in Oyo State, and was Executive Secretary of the National Sugar Development Council, where he founded the National Sugar Institute.
He also held the position of Special Adviser to the President on Revenue prior to his appointment as FIRS chairman in September 2023.
President Tinubu concluded by offering prayers for God’s continued blessings upon the NRS Chairman, wishing him long life, sound health, wisdom, and strength in his service to the country.
