President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has praised the leadership of Zacch Adedeji and the Nigeria Revenue Service following the commissioning of its new headquarters, a project left abandoned for over two decades.
The president described the development as a major milestone in his administration’s push to strengthen institutions and boost national revenue.
“The Nigeria Revenue Service @NigeriaRevenue under the stewardship of Dr Zacch Adedeji has evolved to be a strong pillar of our administration’s drive to build a stronger, more prosperous Nigeria,” Tinubu said.
He noted that the completion of the long-abandoned headquarters reflects a renewed commitment to governance anchored on discipline and continuity.
“Today’s commissioning of their new Headquarters, which had been left abandoned for more than two decades across several administrations, has set a new standard for continuity, discipline, and results in governance,” he added.
Emphasising his administration’s resolve, Tinubu declared, “We did not inherit excuses. We inherited responsibilities. And we will continue doing everything possible to meet them.”
The president described the project as a clear example of ongoing reforms aimed at rebuilding public confidence and strengthening key institutions.
“This is what reform looks like. Institutions being strengthened. Revenues secured and rising. Confidence returning and restored,” he said.
Tinubu reaffirmed his government’s commitment to sustained progress, stating, “We will continue to rebuild, reform, and deliver for the Nigerian people.”
He also commended Adedeji, the NRS team, the Bureau of Public Procurement, and all partners involved in delivering the project.
“Well done to Zacch, the NRS Team, the Bureau of Public Procurement, and every partner who made this possible in record time. The work continues.”
