Jigawa digitises informal revenue collection to curb leakages

The Jigawa State Government has implemented a digital revenue collection platform developed by eTranzact International Plc to modernize and streamline tax collection in the informal sector. This initiative aims to increase transparency, reduce revenue leakages, and improve accountability by replacing manual payment methods with an automated electronic system. The platform allows for real-time tracking of transactions and direct remittance to government accounts, integrating various digital payment channels such as mobile wallets and Point-of-Sale terminals. Over 90 stakeholders, including revenue collectors and market leaders, were trained on the system during a stakeholders' engagement event. Officials emphasized that the technology enhances operational efficiency, promotes trust, and supports informed decision-making through accurate data collection.
