We are targeting N1billion monthly IGR – Bauchi govt
May 30, 2020
Bauchi State governor, Senator Bala Abdulkadir Mohammed, has said that the state will boost its Internally Generated Revenue (IGR) from N200 million to N1 billion in order to ensure rapid development.
Speaking at a media chat in Bauchi on Saturday the governor informed that his administration had put in place strategies aimed at achieving this.
According to him, boosting the state’s IGR becomes imperative since revenue accruing to the state coffers is becoming low.
The governor informed that the state government would soon contract a consultant to help the state boost its IGR
“The only way to ensure rapid development of our state is to raise our IGR because it is so low. We don’t have to rely on Federal Allocation because it is no longer enough due to a dwindling economy.
“Right now, we have concluded arrangements to procure a consultant to help us as we don’t want to burden other sectors,” Governor Mohammed informed.
He added that the COVID-19 pandemic ravaging the world has slowed down everything globally.
“We have conquered Coronavirus and even the WHO have said that we will have to live with the virus.
“We have been singled out as one of the states that have done so much in the fight against COVID-19. Out of the 235 cases, only 22 are on admission in the state,” he stated.
The governor declared that his administration has recorded a lot of achievements, including prudent management of resources, within its first year in office
