The Federal Inland Revenue Service has alleged that the Nigerian Postal Services was collecting stamp duties illegally.
The Director of Communication and Liaison, FIRS, Abdullahi Ahmad, made the claim in a press statement to react to NIPOST’s board chairman, Maimuna Abubakar, earlier Twitter posts.
The statement read, “Our attention was drawn to the tweet by Mrs. Abubakar. Her indecorous tweet would not have deserved any response but for the sensitive nature of the issue at stake, which if not sensibly treated and promptly corrected would likely mislead the public. “This, to say the least, is a preposterous claim and great disservice to the government and people of Nigeria.
