The Minister of Finance, Wale Edun, said on Wednesday the Federal Government was targeting a 77 percent increase in Internally Generated Revenue (IGR).
Edun, who is also the Coordinating Minister of the Economy, stated this at the opening of the 2024 Strategic Management Retreat of the Federal Inland Revenue Service (FIRS) in Abuja.
He said tax plays an integral role in the government’s quest to boost revenue that would help bridge the infrastructure deficit and build social safety nets to cater to ordinary Nigerians.
