The ex-tax boss gave props to the Chartered Institute of Taxation for basically carrying Lagos State when he ran their revenue service back in the day. Tunde Fowler said the guy they were memorializing had crazy foresight about collecting taxes when nobody else in the country cared about that stuff.
The tax institute threw a whole tribute event for their founder, who just died at 80, and everyone from accountants to the current revenue chief showed up to talk about how the man changed Nigerian tax administration through mentorship and integrity. The Kwara governor's office sent people to tell attendees they should try living up to what the deceased left behind.
