Governor Aminu Waziri Tambuwal has said his administration has begun
\nprocess of repealing obsolete laws hampering against effective revenue
\ngeneration in Sokoto state.<\/p>\n

To this end, a bill that will soon be sent to the state House of Assembly
\nfor passage into law is being perfected by legal and tax officers who are
\nexpected to complete their assignment in due course.<\/p>\n

A statement issued in SokotoWednesday<\/span><\/span>by the Governors spokesman, Malam
\nImam Imam, said Tambuwal spoke after a meeting with officials of the
\ninterim management committee of the state board of internal revenue.<\/p>\n

We have recorded modest achievements in revenue generation in the last
\nyear but I have to admit we have our sights set on far higher targets.<\/p>\n

In 2017, we achieved 98.40% annual growth on our IGR compared to previous
\nyear. This followed the intervention we put in place by appointing new
\nofficers to head the revenue generating agency in the state.<\/p>\n

We will continue to support your work by giving you all the necessary
\ntools to succeed. We will also institutionalize these achievements by
\npassing relevant laws that will move revenue generation forward, the
\nGovernor added.<\/p>\n

He said a situation where some of the state laws being in operation since
\nthe 70s cannot meet up with the requirement of modern governance.<\/p>\n

Data released by the National Bureau of Statistics showed that Sokoto
\nachieved a 98.40% increase in its 2017 IGR, netting in a total of N9.02
\nbillion into its coffer.<\/p>\n
