Onyema, OON noted thus, \u201cI am delighted to welcome the Executive Chairman, FIRS, Alhaji Muhammad Mamman Nami\u00a0<\/span><span lang=\"EN-GB\">to this Digital Closing Gong Ceremony.\u00a0The FIRS is saddled with the very important task of assessing, collecting and accounting for tax and other revenues accruing to the Federal Government of Nigeria. I must, therefore, commend the<\/span><span lang=\"EN-GB\">\u00a0FIRS for its internal revenue assessment and collection efforts for the benefit of our economy, even in these challenging times<\/span><span lang=\"EN-GB\">. As responsible corporate citizens, we at the NSE are proud to be associated with the FIRS and will continue to strengthen our relationship even as we look ahead to our post-demutualisation phase.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"yiv0916290678MsoNormal\"><span lang=\"EN-GB\">On his part, Alhaji Nami commented, \u201cThe FIRS has been keenly following the activities and the developments at The Exchange which bear mutual benefits to both institutions. Noteworthy is the demutualisation of the NSE which will undoubtedly promote access to diverse investment opportunities and strengthen investors\u2019 confidence in the capital market. Furthermore, there is clear evidence that the policies being put in place by the Management of The Exchange are yielding positive results given the impressive performance of the equities market in 2020 despite the COVID-19 pandemic and harsh social and economic conditions. I assure you that the FIRS will continue to support the positive initiatives of the NSE to improve its operations, achieve its goals and deliver on its mandate.\u201d<\/span><\/p><div data-ad-id=\"32665\" style=\"text-align:center; margin-top:0px; margin-bottom:0px; margin-left:0px; margin-right:0px;float:none;\" class=\"afw afw_ad_image afw_ad afwadid-32665  \">\r\n                                                            <div style=\"font-size:10px;text-align:center;color:#cccccc;\">Advertisement<\/div>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/www.accessbankplc.com\" rel=\"nofollow\"><img decoding=\"async\" height=\"auto\" max-width=\"100%\" src=\"https:\/\/nationalwire.com.ng\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/Banner-1.jpg\"><\/a>\r\n                                                                        \r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n<p>The Exchange has remained resolute in its commitment to provide a platform for stakeholders to engage with the capital market community.
