The Anambra State Government is targeting N75 billion in Internally Generated Revenue (IGR), up from N47 billion realised in 2025, through tax expansion, improved electronic payment systems and blocking revenue leakages.
Nnaemeka Okonkwo, Chairman of the Anambra State Internal Revenue Service (AIRS), disclosed this on Thursday while appearing before the Public Accounts Committee of the Anambra State House of Assembly during the verification of the state’s 2025 audited government accounts.
He said the agency would achieve the target by broadening the tax net, enhancing electronic tax payment platforms and eliminating leakages in both the formal and informal sectors.
Noble Igwe-chaired Committee, said the verification exercise was part of its constitutional responsibility to ensure transparency, accountability and prudent management of public funds.
Igwe, who represents Ogbaru I Constituency, assured Ministries, Departments and Agencies (MDAs) appearing before the Committee that the exercise was not intended to witch-hunt anyone.
