Nigerian Liquefied Natural Gas (NLNG) has received the prestigious ‘Most Compliant Taxpayer’ award from the Federal Inland Revenue Service (FIRS).
TheNewsZenith reports that FIRS organised the award on 2024 FIRS Day during the Lagos International Trade Fair.
In a statement on the award, Sophia Horsfall, the NLNG’s General Manager (External Relations and Sustainable Development), noted that the recognition was part of the FIRS Compliant Taxpayer Award and Recognition Programme.
