social services and a secure citizen friendly environment comparable to any developed nation in the world.

He noted that FCT-IRS is the major source of revenue for the territory such that FCT would be able to fund its major projects from the revenue collection by the Service with minimal dependence on federal allocation.

Ango warned that there would be no room for laxity, incompetence or other negative tendencies that would not align with the vision and goals of Mr. President and the FCT Minister.

He described the immediate past Acting Executive Chairman as a friend, brother and colleague over the years.
