The Commissioner in an interview with Weekenders magazine’s Correspondent in the state said this administration is leaving no stone unturned, he explained that the last government signed into law the state Harmonize revenue.
According to him, the initiative was to collect revenue from all the local government, meanwhile later faced some challenges due to lack of proper understanding the terms of operation.
He appreciated Governor Umaru Muhammed Bago administration by collaborating with IRS to ensure all the maximum benefits which enables more revenue for Nigerlites.
The Commissioner also stated that all political appointees are tasked by the Governor to go back to their various communities by assessing all their needs and aspirations for a better Niger, adding that the ministry has a mandate to ensure it works as expected.
