He stated that the BIRS also generated N19.4 billion from Ministries, Departments and Agencies as well as local government councils in 2023.

The BIRS chairman said the state recorded a remarkable increase in its revenue generation sequel to blockage of leakages, dedication and improved staff welfare as well as the application of modern technology that eased tax collection payment systems.

“The performance and huge successes achieved by the Babagana Zulum’s administration is due to the consolidation of the state government’s aggressive IGR drive across major sectors of the economy,” he said.
