Adams highlighted the state’s revenue growth from N58 billion pre-2023 to N71 billion in 2024, attributing the progress to reforms, efficiency measures, and initiatives like the PAYKADUNA digital platform.

He added that a committee has been approved to align Kaduna’s tax laws with national reforms by January 2026.

Represented by Deputy Governor Hadiza Balarabe, Governor Uba Sani stressed that fair, transparent, and data-driven taxation is key to building trust, funding critical infrastructure, and supporting economic growth.

Deputy Governor of the CBN, Muhammad Dattijo, and Taiwo Oyedele, Chairman of the Presidential Committee on Fiscal Policy and Tax Reforms, lauded the reforms for promoting fiscal governance, non-oil revenue, and a fairer business environment.

Dr. Bagudo Mustapha, lead presenter, emphasized that strong institutions, accountability, and modern data systems are essential for sustainable tax compliance and long-term economic growth.
