The Governor of Oyo State, Seyi Makinde, disclosed that the State increased its Internally Generated Revenue (IGR) for this year by focusing on competitive advantage, while keeping the tax rate stable.
This was disclosed by the Governor via his official Twitter handle.
Makinde said the increase in IGR was also possible without increasing the tax burden on Oyo state residents.
“The Nigerian Bureau of Statistics (NBS) H1 2020 report shows that our IGR grew by 26.4% amidst this pandemic. We did this without increasing the tax burden on our citizens. What we have done so far is to focus on our competitive advantage,” Makinde disclosed.
