What do you know about the boss of the Lagos State Internal Revenue Service, LIRS, Hamzat Ayodele Subair?
To many, this brilliant chartered accountant is a thoroughbred professional. No wonder, his appointment in 2016 was greeted with a loud ovation from different quarters.
Many who have worked with him in the past confirmed that he is a go-getter.
At first blush, he does not strike you as the no-nonsense, aggressive, go-getter person. Instead, he comes across as a quiet, media-shy, humble, yet assertive man.
But be careful not to let the calm exterior fool you. He is acknowledged as the top man in the Lagos tax industry, responsible for the tax revenue generation of Lagos state, managing the LIRS, creating strategies and programmes that create a positively tax-informed society.
