Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Nyesom Wike, has relieved the acting Executive Chairman of the FCT Internal Revenue Service (FCT-IRS), Michael Ango, of his duties. The announcement was made on Friday in Abuja through a statement issued by the minister’s Senior Special Assistant on Public Communication and Social Media, Lere Olayinka.

Though no official reason was given for the decision, the minister directed the most senior official within the FCT-IRS to immediately assume leadership and oversee the operations of the agency.

Ango was appointed acting chairman of the FCT-IRS in August 2024, following the exit of Haruna Abdullahi, who held the acting chairman position for nearly three years.
