The Federal Inland Revenue Service (FIRS) of Nigeria and the French tax agency, Direction Générale des Finances Publiques, have signed a memorandum of understanding to collaborate on various aspects of tax administration. This agreement, signed at the French Embassy in Abuja, aims to modernize and strengthen the tax systems of both countries.
