President Bola Tinubu met with Dr. Zacch Adedeji, the Executive Chairman of the Federal Inland Revenue Service (FIRS), at the Aso Rock Presidential Villa on Monday, May 26, 2025. The closed-door meeting followed a directive from the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Nyesom Wike, to seal the FIRS office in Abuja over alleged non-payment of ground rent spanning 25 years. The FIRS has described the closure as “malicious” and “unprofessional,” criticizing the Federal Capital Territory Administration (FCTA) for its heavy-handed approach to what it views as an intergovernmental issue.
While the presidency has not officially commented on the dispute, sources suggest that the meeting between President Tinubu and Dr. Adedeji was aimed at resolving the tension and ensuring smooth inter-agency cooperation in the interest of national revenue generation.
