Tunde Fowler requested to be reappointed for a second term in office but it was not granted by the Secretary to the Government of the Federation (SGF), Boss Mustapha, according to a letter seen by BusinessDay.
“I wish to present myself for reappointment for a second term. This is consistent with the provisions of the FIRS Establishment Act 2007 and would grant me the opportunity to consolidate and build on the achievements we have recorded in the past 4 years,” Fowler had said in the letter he addressed to the SGF referring to a notification of his tenure expiration as executive chairman of FIRS.
Despite attaching the highlights of his achievements during his first tenure in office, his request was still not granted.
“I would like to put it on record my gratitude to Mr President for the opportunity to serve the nation. I am also thankful for your support in the course of the discharge of my duties,” the letter reads.
President Muhammadu Buhari had on Monday named Muhammad M. Nami as the new chairman of the Federal Inland Revenue Service (FIRS), replacing Fowler whose tenure expired on Monday.
