The Kogi State Internal Revenue Service held a strategy engagement in Lokoja to review existing revenue sources and identify areas for improvement. The service set a 2027 Internally Generated Revenue (IGR) target of N66.4 billion, representing a 51.3 per cent increase from the current baseline of N43.9 billion. During the engagement, the service warned Ministries, Departments and Agencies against collecting government revenue in cash, describing the practice as a criminal offense. Dr Rahman Nasir Ichanyi stated that all government revenue collection processes must be automated, transparent, and traceable.
