FIRS pledges trust fund, jobs for families of deceased staff.
The Federal Inland Revenue Service (FIRS) has pledged to establish a special trust fund, guarantee employment, and provide full educational sponsorship for the children of four staff members who lost their lives in the recent Afriland Towers fire in Lagos.
Speaking during a memorial service in honour of the deceased colleagues in Lagos yesterday, the Executive Chairman of FIRS, Dr. Zacch Adedeji, announced that the Service would take full responsibility for the upbringing and welfare of the children left behind. He explained that the commitment includes covering all school-related expenses up to university level, encompassing both first and second degrees.
“In FIRS, we do not see ourselves as an institution; we are family. And in every family, when one is lost, we all feel emptiness. To the families, I want to say this: we believe in you, we stand with you, and we will continue to walk with you. Please be confident in knowing that you are not alone,” Adedeji said.
The Chairman further disclosed that a trust fund would be formally ratified to guarantee continuity beyond his tenure, ensuring that the commitment remains binding on the Service. He stressed that the families would have full control of the fund, demonstrating the Service’s intention to provide both immediate and long-term support.
