Only 17 states out of the 36 states of the federation have fully automated their Internally Generated Revenue collection systems, the Federal Government said on Thursday.
This implies that 19 states lack automated IGR collection systems.
The Secretary, Joint Tax Board in the National Steering Committee of the States’ Fiscal Transparency Accountability and Sustainability Programme for Results, Aishat Obomeghie, advised states to automate the IGR systems.
Her advise was contained in a statement issued in Abuja by the States’ Fiscal Transparency Accountability and Sustainability Programme for Results.
The SFTAS is domiciled in the Home Finance Department of the Federal Ministry of Finance, Budget and National, which serves as the Programme Coordination Unit.
