Revenue: Kwara Agric Ministry strengthens partnership with Kw-irs
The Kwara Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development has strengthened its partnership with the state Internal Revenue Service (Kw-irs) and other allied revenue generating agencies to improve the state’ Internally Generated Revenue (IGR).
The Commissioner for Agriculture and Rural Development, Malam AbdulLateef Alakawa, said this in Ilorin while receiving the service Chairman, Mrs Shade Omoniyi, during a courtesy visit on Thursday.
Alakawa assured the Kw-irs team of the ministry’s support in improving the state government’s internal revenue generation, adding that the ministry will assist to block all forms of loopholes identified in the revenue generating system of the state.
According to him, the visit has afforded the ministry to understand the areas to improve on and the areas to be addressed by the State Executive Council.
“Having understood the factors hindering the revenue drive of the sector, there is the need to profer a response strategy to address the challenges,” the commissioner said.
Earlier, Omoniyi informed the commissioner that the agency is saddled with the responsibility to generate funds for the strategic development of the state.
“Kw-irs is in business of generating funds for the development of Kwara State; the Ministries and MDAs are major stakeholders in what we are doing.
“The visit is also to know what the relationship is all about, the challenges and how we believe we can get it done in a proper manner to boost the economy of the state,” Omoniyi said.
The chairman appreciated the Alakawa for the warm reception accorded her team and assured him of stronger collaboration.
