The FIRS has apologised to Christians following its controversial Easter message.
The FIRS message posted on its social media handle to celebrate Easter read, “Jesus paid your debt, not your taxes,” along with a picture of a Point of Sale (PoS) machine as part of its Easter message to Christians in Nigeria.
However, the message didn’t go down well with many Christians as the Christians Association of Nigeria demanded apology.
Meanwhile, the agency in a statement through its media team on Tuesday said it “did not put out the flier purposefully…., it added that FIRS “Has No Religion”.
“We believe it is an investment in the progress of the country when citizens pay their taxes. Once again, we wish to apologize to CAN and Christians who felt offended at the unintended consequence of our message on Easter Sunday.”
