The Secretariat of the Presidential Enabling Business Environment Council (PEBEC) has described the Director of the Federal Inland Revenue Service (FIRS), Alhaji Mohammadu Kudu Lawal killed by suspected gunmen as a dutiful officer.
PEBEC disclosed this on Monday in a condolence message by Dr Jumoke Oduwole, its Secretary and Special Adviser to the President on Ease of Doing Business to the Management and Staff of FIRS over the demise of its Coordinator for Kebbi, Sokoto and Zamfara.
Oduwole described Kudu as a consistent high performing Reform Champion, known for his dedication to the implementation of critical reforms such as the electronic tax filing.
“He was a dutiful officer who was readily available to support the activities of the secretariat across the country, even at short notice. He will surely be missed by all.
“We celebrate the life he lived and the impact he made during his life time. We pray that the Almighty God grants him eternal rest and peace at his bosom, and to grant his former colleagues at the FIRS the fortitude to bear the irreparable loss,” she said.
