The FIRS admitted that the message caused offense in some circles and acknowledged the “unintended meaning/insinuation” interpreted by many, expressing regret for any miscommunication.  

It acknowledged CAN’s statement, which recognised the potential for creative taxpayer engagement and expressed sincere apologies for any misinterpretations.

The FIRS emphasised commitment to religious neutrality, stating its core function is to assess, collect and account for revenue that contributes to the overall wellbeing of the Nigerian Federation”. 

The FIRS offered renewed apologies to CAN and all Christians who felt offended by the unintended consequences of the Easter Sunday message.
