Lawyers Seek Transparency on FIRS-France MoU Amid Data Protection Concerns
Lawyers have invoked the Freedom of Information Act to access details of the memorandum of understanding (MoU) signed between the Federal Inland Revenue Service (FIRS) of Nigeria and France's tax authority. Concerns have been raised about data protection, transparency, and the handling of Nigerian taxpayers' information.
The agreement focuses on technical cooperation, knowledge sharing, and digital capacity building. The controversy arises from the lack of transparency and fears of potential data transfers.
The FIRS maintains that the MoU does not allow for the transfer of taxpayer information.
