Ekiti monthly revenue hits N2.75bn, eyes N3bn target

Ekiti State's internally generated revenue (IGR) reached N2.75 billion in June 2026, marking a 33.2% increase compared to the same period in 2025. This growth is attributed to the state's focus on voluntary tax compliance, digitalization of tax collection, and expansion of the Pay-As-You-Earn system. Despite the suspension of enforcement actions like roadblocks and business closures since July 2025, the state has maintained a stable revenue level of around N2.74 billion since April 2026. The Ekiti State Internal Revenue Service (EKIRS) aims to exceed N3 billion in monthly revenue this year by increasing taxpayer participation and leveraging technology to broaden the tax base without raising tax rates or introducing new taxes.
