   OGIRS SYNERGISES WITH MDAs TO SURPASS TARGETED REVENUE FIGURE IN 2022

The Ogun State Internal Revenue Service (OGIRS) says it would block revenue leakages with collective efforts of Ministries, Departments and Agencies (MDAs) to achieve more than the targeted revenue figure in year 2022.

This was brought to the fore by the Executive Chairman, OGIRS, Mr. Olugbenga Olaleye in Abeokuta, at a day budget strategy session, saying the agency would ensure the State deliver more than the targeted N155bn Internally Generated Revenue (IGR), while leveraging on the digitisation efforts.

“The percentage increase over last year budget figure necessitated the collective efforts geared towards blocking and bringing all revenue leakages into the government coffers. When all units and MDAs work together, share ideas and information, area of leakages and more revenue opportunities will be identified”, Olaleye said.

He enjoined all taxable adults in the State to pay appropriate taxes as and when due to complement government efforts, to enable it provide more social amenities in line with electoral mandates.

Contributing, the Special Adviser to the Governor on Revenue, Mr. Abiodun Adeleye said the programme was put together for revenue officers to rub minds, reflect on last year performance and strategise on how best to expand tax net, boost revenue generation and surpass the targeted revenue figure for 2022.

Earlier, the Director, Corporate Development Department, Mr. Taiwo Ogundimu enjoined the participants to identify areas where more revenue could be generated and concentrate their strength to achieve an increase figure.
