Governor Uba Sani of Kaduna State announced that Nigeria's tax revenue has significantly increased due to tax reforms introduced by President Bola Tinubu in 2026. The revenue reached about N21.6 trillion in the first half of 2026, showing a 49% increase compared to the same period last year. During a meeting focused on assessing these tax reforms, Governor Sani praised President Tinubu for making important changes to Nigeria's tax system, which he believes are necessary for a modern economy. He highlighted that the reforms aim to simplify the tax process, reduce unnecessary taxes, and improve technology in tax collection. He also commended the leadership of Mr. Zach Adedeji from the Nigeria Revenue Service for his role in advancing these reforms and acknowledged the previous efforts in Kaduna State to boost local revenue from N4 billion to N10 billion monthly. The Governor emphasized that the goal of these reforms is not just to collect more money but to create a fair and transparent tax system that encourages people and businesses to comply willingly. He believes that when citizens understand their tax obligations and trust that their contributions are used wisely, they are more likely to participate in the system. Overall, the focus is on building a better relationship between the government and taxpayers, making the tax process easier and more efficient.
