Netizens have continued to react on social media after photos circulated online purportedly showing the Executive Chairman of the Federal Inland Revenue Service (FIRS), Zacch Adedeji, wearing high-end luxury wristwatches on different occasions.
The images, which were widely shared across X and other platforms, triggered debate among Nigerians, with many users questioning the propriety of such displays by a senior public official at a time of economic hardship.
Several commentators pointed to the perceived contrast between the reported value of the accessories and the government’s ongoing calls for citizens to comply with tax obligations and embrace fiscal discipline.
