Kano State reports significant rise in tax revenue

The Kano State Internal Revenue Service (KIRS) has reported a significant increase in internally generated revenue. Executive Chairman Alhaji Bashir Yusuf Maitama stated that collections from the last three months have exceeded the total revenue generated during the preceding six-month period.

Maitama attributed this growth to improved cooperation from taxpayers across various sectors. He urged citizens to maintain voluntary compliance and make accurate income declarations through approved channels, warning against making cash payments to individuals or officials to ensure transparency in funding state development projects.
