Civil society organisations, numbering 23, have backed the revenue drive of the executive chairman of the Nigeria Revenue Service (NRS), Dr Zacch Adedeji. After an emergency meeting in Abuja, the CSOs held a press conference, where they said the reforms in revenue generation agency under Adedeji’s were a lifeline for the sinking Nigerian economy. The CSOs’ leaders included Mallam Bello of the Centre for Peace, Transparency and Accountability and Mrs Ngozi Okafor of Women’s Advocacy Network. They said, “We have deeply assessed the revenue drive by Adedeji since President Bola Tinubu appointed him to spearhead some of the reforms in revenue generation. Therefore, they expressed their support; the band passed a vote of confidence in Adedeji’s leadership and promised to raise awareness of the impact of the economic reforms, despite not yet reaching households.
