The Kaduna State Internal Revenue Service, KADIRS, says it is committed to achieving the state government’s ₦120 billion Internally Generated Revenue target for 2026.
The Acting Executive Chairman of KADIRS, Dr Muhammad Lawal, stated this in Kaduna during a one-day capacity-building training for revenue officers drawn from the state’s 23 Local Government Areas.
The training brought together revenue officers from across the 23 Local Government Areas as part of efforts to strengthen revenue administration at the grassroots.
Speaking on the rationale for the exercise, the Acting Executive Chairman of KADIRS, Dr Muhammad Lawal, said the training was designed to ensure that revenue officers understand the newly introduced tax reforms and are adequately prepared to implement them effectively.
One of the key areas of focus was taxpayer engagement and compliance.
Presenting a paper at the training, the facilitator, Dr Abdulrauf Aliyu, highlighted practical strategies for encouraging taxpayers to understand and fulfil their tax obligations.
The KADIRS leadership expressed optimism that the capacity-building initiative would contribute to more efficient revenue collection and support the state’s drive to achieve its ₦120 billion IGR target for 2026.
