Kaduna State is projecting ₦85 billion in Internally Generated Revenue (IGR) by the end of 2025, driven by reforms aimed at building a fair, transparent and technology-based tax system.
Executive Chairman of the Kaduna State Internal Revenue Service (KADIRS), Jerry Adams, announced this at the 2025 KADIRS Tax Dialogue in Kaduna.
“We have moved from ₦58 billion before 2023 to ₦62 billion in 2023 and ₦71 billion in 2024,” Adams said. “This year, we are trending around ₦85 billion, supported by an average monthly collection of ₦7 billion.”
Adams attributed the growth to Governor Uba Sani’s commitment to infrastructure, security and inclusive governance, which he said has strengthened public confidence.
“The Governor’s support has allowed us expand manpower, improve staff welfare and deploy innovations such as PAYKADUNA, which has boosted transparency and efficiency,” he said.
He also announced the approval of a committee to review and update the Kaduna State Tax Codification and Consolidation Law to align fully with the National Tax Act before January 2026.
Adams said the dialogue, themed “Transforming Tax Administration for the Future,” was designed to help stakeholders understand the procedural shifts in the Nigerian Tax Reform Act 2025 and to identify practical steps for state-level implementation.
He urged participants to question assumptions and offer practical contributions to shape the evolution of our tax system.
