By Zainab Oyekan
Dr Pam Wayas, Chairman, Plateau Internal Revenue Service, says the service generated N32.14 billion in 2024 and now has a target of N52 billion for 2025.
Wayas, who disclosed this during a news conference in Jos, said that it was the first time the N30billion benchmark was crossed in the state.
He attributed the achievement to sector reforms and innovative tax strategies.
“Going forward, this targeted sector reforms and tax strategies would ensure efficient collection, reduced evasion, and promote fairness in the tax system,” he said.
The chairman added that with all hands on deck, the efforts would enable the board to meet its N52 billion target.
He, however, said that it was important for everyone to understand that tax payments in the state would directly contribute to development by funding infrastructure, creating jobs, improving public services, and fostering economic growth.
Wayas urged every taxable resident to contribute to the reform’s success, emphasising it would lead to a more prosperous and self-reliant Plateau. (NAN) (www.nannews.ng)
