The Akwa Ibom State Government has said that it will improve its Internally Generated Revenue (IGR) in the coming year without necessarily increasing the state’s tax rate.
“We are confident that without increasing any tax rate, the IGR of our State would be improved via the application of technology, increased tax awareness campaign, and the expansion of the tax net to capture tax evaders,” the Chairperson of the Akwa Ibom State Internal Revenue Service (AKIRS), Okon Okon, said on Sunday at a press briefing in Uyo.
The state’s revenue service organised the briefing to mark the end of its two-day strategy session for the 2025 fiscal year.
