Buhari sacks fct revenue service boss

According to recent reports, President Muhammadu Buhari has sacked the Chairman of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) Internal Revenue Service (IRS), Alhaji Hassan Usman.

The sack was announced by the FCT Minister, Malam Muhammad Bello, who stated that the President has approved the removal of Usman from office, effective immediately.

The reason for the sack was not explicitly stated, but it is believed to be due to the controversy surrounding the FCT IRS and its handling of revenue collection in the territory.

Usman's tenure as FCT IRS Chairman has been marked by allegations of corruption and mismanagement, with many calling for his removal. His departure is seen as a step towards addressing these concerns and ensuring transparency and accountability in the management of FCT revenue.

The FCT Minister has announced that a new Chairman will be appointed to replace Usman, and that the process of selecting a new head for the FCT IRS will be transparent and merit-based.

This development is seen as a positive step towards improving governance and accountability in the FCT, and is expected to have a positive impact on the territory's revenue collection and management.
