The Senate yesterday confirmed Dr. William Babatunde Fowler as executive chairman, Federal Inland Revenue Service (FIRS).
This followed the presentation and adoption of the report of the Senate Committee on Finance, which screened Fowler.
Chairman of the Finance Committee, Senator John Owna Enoh who presented the report, asked the Senate to confirm the appointment of Fowler.
Senator Gbenga Ashafa said the fact that Fowler moved the internally generated fund of Lagos State to greater heights remained a shining testimony for him.
The Lagos State lawmaker noted that he had no doubt that Fowler would assist the Federal Government to improve its tax collection system.
