The Newly appointed Acting Chairman of the Federal Inland Revenue Service, Mr Zachaeus Adedeji says President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s administration is counting on the growth of the solid minerals sector to boost the country’s economy.
Adedeji disclosed this during a courtesy visit to Minister of Solid Minerals, Oladele Alake on Wednesday.
On his part, the host, Alake, said the highest taxable limit is 18 per cent of the Gross Domestic Product, and the country’s declining oil and gas sector contributes 78 per cent.
He said this makes solid minerals the sector that can rescue the economy.
On his part, Adedeji stated that the country’s solid minerals’ resource is now the toast of this administration.
”This is our next oil, which is why we are here. We are getting it right here. If we get it right, it means the future of Nigeria is secured,” he said.
