The headquarters of the Federal Inland Revenue Service (FIRS) in Wuse Zone 5, Abuja, came alive on Thursday as jubilant staff celebrated the Executive Chairman, Zacch Adedeji, for his outstanding contributions to their welfare.

From as early as 8 a.m., workers gathered with placards bearing various inscriptions. The atmosphere was festive, with employees singing, dancing, and expressing their gratitude for Adedeji’s leadership and generosity.

The celebration, which coincided with Adedeji’s arrival at the office, saw workers shield themselves from the Abuja sun under nearby sheds before coming together to welcome their Chairman.

In a statement issued by Sikiru Akinola, Technical Assistant (Print Media) to the FIRS Chairman, staff members praised Adedeji for prioritising their welfare, particularly through a salary increment and other benefits introduced during his tenure.

One staff member described Adedeji as a compassionate leader who listens to the aspirations of those under his stewardship.

“Being someone who is deliberate and intentional, Zacch Adedeji is always concerned and mindful of those around him and people whose paths have crossed with him. He is our boss and our friend. So for us, we decided to gather today to appreciate him,” the staff member said.

The statement highlighted that efforts by workers to celebrate Adedeji had previously been declined by the Chairman.

Another staff member noted that the recent salary increment, implemented without fanfare, was a testament to Adedeji’s commitment to their well-being.

“The Executive Chairman did not even brief many people before increasing staff salaries and other welfare packages. He believes that those helping to achieve the ambitious target of N19.4 trillion for 2024 should be well-motivated. A few months ago, in what many described as unprecedented, he increased our salaries. This was after introducing other welfare measures,” the staff member said.

Adedeji’s efforts, they agreed, had created a new era of harmony within the agency. During a staff union event marking his one-year anniversary, the union leadership noted that this was the first time they could sleep peacefully without complaints from members.

Staff members unanimously described Adedeji’s tenure as unmatched in the agency’s history.

“No Executive Chairman of the agency has been so celebrated within just one year and four months. His magnanimity to staff has been nothing short of exceptional,” one employee remarked.

Adedeji acknowledged the outpouring of goodwill by saluting the crowd, waving and expressing his gratitude to the jubilant workers.

This is why I believe that the same effort put into tax bill should be considered on the salary scale....

Some agencies are earning better and still receiving better incentives......

Give other agencies the privilege to generate funds so they can get good packages....

God can surely lift anyone right from dunghill onto the throne of mercy. Zacc Adedeji is truly an example of such person.

A good man is a good man.

A wicked ruler is a wicked ruler.

A good man can serve in the government of a wicked ruler and impact people around him positively.


Modified: Someone like Wike, who is approaching the twilight of his journey is supposed to sober reflect and make peace with his maker. Instead, he is busy creating more distortions, strife, tension and demolishing houses that the government couldn't build for their citizens.

The black man truly has a black heart.

This is how you know a good boss. When the workers are happy and talking good about him, workers can stay more longer in those kind of organization.

Only an illiterate and a Fuul will be against Tax Reform. Shamefully Northern leaders are confusing their people. Na why they deprive them of quality education though.

This is commendable.
Employees are the life blood of any organization.

This exactly explains Tinubu’s leadership philosophy. He knows he doesn’t have to micromanage his team, and he selected them based on competence so that they can deliver, even know him personally is a corrupt individual

So, because he heads a federal agency overseeing the pool of tax contributed by citizens, that automatically confers on him the sole powers to unilaterally increase his agency's workers salaries and benefits without any recourse to relevant bodies?

A country where any and everything goes.

Zach is actually a good man. He believes so much in action, rather than vuvuzela promises. When he resumed as the boss of FIRS, learnt he didn't even promise to increase staff welfare packages but assured them he would not remove any from what they have been enjoying...and then boom, a sudden increment.

Zach has also eliminated the wasteful practice of conducting promotion exercise in the service.

Even though the staff still hope for more, what he has done so far is highly commendable.

It's always good to have a compassionate boss

Happy employees is always a plus to an organization.

Good one from Oga Zacch

Very unfortunate that we are sharing this country with them....

Their lazy assess will not like what will happen of the tax bill won't scale through....

When their leaders divided Nigeria to make them have more lands and states to always get political favours, we all agreed. Now is the time for them to use of the terra firma to generate IRG and use it to develop their region, it becomes a problem.

Nice one!

Definitely he might have table the increases in revenue/increases in wages before his boss

Very commendable from the FIRS Chairman

You have forgotten that FIRS is autonomous and enjoys a percentage of what is collected every month as running cost. Plus whatever he has done in terms of salary must have been done in line with policies guiding the organisation, otherwise you would have heard noises from different quarters. In short, he must have achieved this through National salaries and wages commission.

At what point in his life?

Indeed,. it is a country of everything goes where an ignorant person can come on a faceless forum and assume without imagining that others especially some in vital positions are not as stupid as they imagine.

Perhaps, Zach's fault must have been his failure to carry you along while trying to do his job

Continue to wail why Wike continues to shine. He will be minister for at least 4 years and IF Tinubu got reelected, Wike might still be reappointed. And he might get back Rivers state in 2027.

The moment you secure a job at FIRS an an officer on a good grade, even village people and household witches will want to be your friends.

FIRS staff wey dey inside money before.
God is good. All the time.

When the tax reform bill is passed, only the FIRS will be collecting fund for the FG.

Yes, you're right. But what did he say about Wike that is wrong?

Is it a lie that Wike, despite being one of president Bola Tinubu's best Ministers (to be frank) is unjustly destroying properties and grabbing people's lands in the FCT?

Is it also a lie that he is headbent on seeing that Rivers State, under Fubara, never experiences anything positive? Or is it the issue of Political Crisis in the PDP?

OR it's the fights that he so easily picks with everyone and anyone?

That man is a total misfit and suffers from a gross bankruptcy of morals.

Any positive news must upset and make you and your likes bitter. May bitterness continue to surround you.

Adedeji is from a very humble backgrounds. He was fortunate to meet Tinubu through his in-laws. From Federal polytechnic, Ede to OAU ife. He was a grassroot man. Favour just found him.

The ox on the threshing floor must not be muzzled
