“At a time Bola Tinubu’s Government has refused to boost minimum wage for workers who are still at N30k (approximately $20) per month, the chairman of the Federal Inland Revenue, FIRS, Zach Adedeji, allegedly wasted over N3.5billion of tax payers money on six Lexus LX600 Bulletproof SUVs recently.
“Not done with his jamboree, Adedeji flew 15 out of his almost 50 Aides to London where they were partying, jumping from club to club for days,” Jackson Ude, an anti-corruption campaigner claimed on Sunday via his X handle.
“Insiders tell me Adedeji has been shifting monies to London where he is acquiring excellent homes, using one of his loyal Aide called Juwon.
Angry insiders further revealed that Adedeji who might end up as the most corrupt FIRS Chairman, padded his office with several Aides who are at Directors levels such as a Chief of Staff, SA Special Duties, SA Technical, SALogistics, SAFacility Management, SA Prosecution, SA Legal, SA Human Capital, SA Tax Matters, SA Customer Centricity , SA Communications and Advocacy, SA New Media, SA Digital Media, SA ICT, SA Medium Tax Matters, SA Large Tax Matters, SA Small Tax Matters, Principal Private Secretary, Protocol, all Directorate cadre. On top of that, he has 5 Personal Assistants.
Only recently, Adedeji allegedly took millions of dollars in payments to enable the South African owned Multichoice escape nearly $1.5billion in taxes owing Nigeria over several years,” Jackson Ude further added.
