“Our goal is to bridge the communication gap between the FIRS and the people, ensuring that every Nigerian understands how taxes work and why they matter,” said Arabinrin Bello.

Each episode promises to provide insights into Nigeria’s evolving tax policies, FIRS strategies, and the role of taxation in national development.
