The Governor of Kaduna State, Uba Sani has praised President Bola Ahmed Tinubu for taking the courageous and politically demanding decision to fundamentally reform and reposition Nigeria’s tax ecosystem through landmark legislation, including the Act that transformed the former Joint Tax Board (JTB) to Joint Revenue Board (JRB) and the Federal Inland Revenue Service (FIRS) to Nigeria Revenue Service (NRS).
Governor Uba Sani noted that a major consequential salutary outcome of the introduction of the tax reform by President Tinubu is the surge of the national tax revenue to N21.6 trillion within 2026.
The governor spoke as the guest of honour at the 160th meeting of the Joint Revenue Board (JRB) meeting, which held in Kaduna on Wednesday with the theme “One Year Of Tax Reform: Assessing Progress and Addressing Challenges.’’
