Kaduna State Internal Revenue Service says the state has generated over 44 billion naira as Internally Generated Revenue in 2019.
Executive Chairman of the service, Dr. Zaid Abubakar, made the disclosure while presenting the agency’s scorecard for the year at a news conference in Kaduna.
Abubakar said the revenue generated surpassed the 43-billion-naira target for the year by 1 billion naira.
Abubakar pointed out that this was the first time that the state met its revenue target and even surpassed it, describing the feat as a new benchmark for revenue collection in the state.
He attributed the achievement to the overwhelming support from Governor Nasir El-Rufa’i, the political will and free-hand accorded to the agency to do its job without interference.
