operational vehicles and advocacy T-shirts, under the Kano state
Internally Generated Revenue Assurance Platform, KIGRA.

international best practice.
Speaking during the occasion, Gov. Ganduje charged the state Internal
Revenue service “to gear up towards ensuring that revenue is collected
24 hours a day”.

succeeded in getting more people to pay taxes. As you can see, we now
erect signboards on project sites, to indicate that such
infrastructures are constructed with tax payers money”, he asserted.

Abdulqadir Dembo, explained that with the new development, the
governor, the state finance Commissioner and himself, can monitor revenue accruals directly room their office tables.

Police.

described him “as an able, well behaved, organised and reliable
fellow”, urging him to keep the spirit.
Born in 1976 SP, Abubakar is a graduate of law, who served in Yobe,
