The Kogi State Internal Revenue Service (KGIRS) Monday stated that the Internally Generated Revenue (IGR) OF the state rose from N600 million annually to N43.9 billion in 2025.
He attributed the growth to application of modern tax innovations and blockages of leakages in tax administration over the past decade.
The executive chairman of KGIRS, Dr. Salihu Sule Enehe (Ph.D) stated this while speaking with journalists during the Customers’ Service Week celebration in Lokoja where taxpayers, customers and staff were recognised for their contributions to the growth of the state.
Enehe, who was represented by the director of Income Tax, Mr. Emmanuel Yusufu, described the event as an opportunity to appreciate stakeholders whose cooperation had supported the service in carrying out its mandate and contributing to Kogi state’s development.
He said, “When we started 10 years ago, the revenue of the state was hovered around N600 million annually, but as we speak, as of 2025, we are already on N43.9 billion annually and there is hope for improvement.”
Speaking on the service’s corporate social responsibility initiatives of the organisation, Enehe said KGIRS had continued to support residents through various interventions, particularly during flooding and other areas of need.
He stated that flood victims were also taxpayers and deserved assistance in times of hardship, adding that the service had been contributing to educational development through the distribution of notebooks and exercise books to schools.
