We have seen the quality work being done. They have designed it very well and when we asked them questions, they answered. We are satisfied. We say kudos to FIRS.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe first went to the temporary building where the FIRS is using now and of course we met the Directors and everybody. Why we have taken time to come on oversight is to allow the chairman to fully settle and we have seen the evidence that he has fully settled.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHis work is very smooth. We could see on the faces of that staff that they are also happy with what the chairman is doing. We decided to come to the proposed permanent site. We have seen the progress so far. Like the architect said, the project began in 2011 and it will be completed next year.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe expect that when that is done and the Nigerian Revenue Service bill is passed, it will be launched in this building. And we expect more revenue to come to Nigeria.<\/p>\n<p>On whether the Committee is encouraged to continue to support FIRS, Faleke said: \u201cWe have always supported FIRS. Our committee is the main committee. If we withdraw our support, there will be a collapse of the system. It isn\u2019t about being encouraged; it is about us doing our job, to do what is right.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The Executive Chairman of the FIRS, Zacch Adedeji thanked the Committee for their visit and support, stating that FIRS will continue to cooperate with the lawmakers to move Nigeria forward.<\/p>\n<p><strong>For More News And Analysis About Nigeria Follow Africa-Press<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; Nigeria.
