The Borno State Internal Revenue Service (BOIRS) said it has introduced tax relief to reduce hardship and ease of doing business in the state.
Executive chairman of the service, Professor Bello Alhaji Ibrahim, stated this at a press conference in Maiduguri.
Ibrahim explained that Governor Babagana Umara Zulum has signed executive order 5 that established a grievance redress mechanism even though all governments around the world rely on tax revenue to engage in meaningful development projects.
He revealed that the service was able to block leakages and generate N2.8bn IGR between January 1 and February 15, 2024.
The executive chairman said the service collected N1.7bn in revenues in January while N1.1bn had been generated from February 1 to 15.
Ibrahim said the service also generated N19.4bn from Ministries, Departments and Agencies as well as local government councils in 2023.
