KWARA State Internal Revenue Service (KWIRS) has said that present socioeconomic situations and political pressures in the state have posed challenges against realising set target of N30 billion annually.
Speaking at a media briefing on activities of the state government agency in Ilorin on Tuesday, the executive chairman of KWIRS, Dr Murtala Awodun, said that the record of performance for 2017 had shown that the N30 billion annual target was realisable.
Dr Awodun, who said that the agency realised a sum of N18.2 billion as opposed to a total of N17.2 billion in 2016, added that, “our target is to hit N24 billion. However, we are hoping to hit N20 billion at the end of 2017. There’s nothing stopping the state from hitting N30 billion annually”.
