In line with its mandate to ensure steady increase in revenue generation in the FCT, efforts have been intensified towards capacity building as the Federal Capital Territory Internal Revenue Service (FCT-IRS), in collaboration with Chartered Institute of Taxation of Nigeria (CITN), has commenced a training for another 200 personnel of the service on tax audit and investigation.

The acting Executive Chairman of FCT-IRS, Mr Haruna Abdullahi, while addressing the participants, noted that capacity building remained a priority in the service, hence that it would do everything possible to uphold it as it was one of its core objectives.

Abdullahi explained that the training could not have come at a better time than now as all efforts were geared towards harmonisation of all revenues and centralisation of collection by the FCT-IRS, hence the need to have a skilled and equipped workforce that would drive the process.
