From Godwin Agia, Jalingo
The Taraba State Internal Revenue Service (TSIRS) said it has improved Internal Generated Revenue (IGR) from N800 million to 1.6 billion since assumption of Jo’s leadership in June 2024.
Brig. Gen. Jeremiah Faransa (rtd), Chairman of the TSIRS made the disclosure on Thursday in Jalingo while speaking to newsmen in his office on the activities of the service since he assumed office in June 2024.
Faransa also revealed that the IGR has risen from the N10 billion in 2023 to over N11 billion in 2024.
He said that the service expected to hit over N15 billion IGR when the October, November and December collections would be computed on its IGR chat.
Faransa attributed poor IGR to non adoption of Treasury Single Account (TSA) proliferation of revenue and security check points, revenue linkages, analogue operations in collection of revenues and lack of training and retraining of the service’s staff among others.
