The directive, in a statement by the Special Adviser on Media to the FIRS chairman, Mr Dare Adekanmbi, is part of Adedeji’s commitment to matching the agency’s customer-centric policy with tangible action.

With the directive, tax offices are expected to open for business from 10:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. on Saturday and 12:00 p.m. to 4:00 p.m. on Sunday throughout June.
