Nigerian States IGR Awards

ABOUT THE NIGERIAN STATES IGR AWARDS
The annual Nigerian States IGR Awards is designed to encourage and foster a healthy competition among the internal revenue service (IRS) of FCT and the 36 states of Nigeria in order to substantially increase their internally generated revenue (IGR). The criteria for the various categories of this award program are based on verifiable data on the annual performance in revenue collection of the tax authority of these states. Compared to even some African countries, Nigeria as at today, remains a laggard in terms of taxation per capita. Nigerian States IGR Awards is our own way of supporting a growing advocacy from various quarters across the country to help reverse this trend. The event is open for the partnership, sponsorship, goodwill and support of interested public sector agencies and corporate organizations. The awards are usually presented by REVENUE magazine every year during a nationwide roadshow that takes our team to the IRS of several of the winning states. From inception in September 2020 till date, the event has received goodwill, support and co-sponsorship from the IRS of the following states: Kogi, Gombe, Borno, Zamfara, Kaduna, Katsina, Nasarawa, Yobe, Anambra, Kebbi and Kano. We look forwards to continuing to engage even more robustly with these tax authorities, as well as many others in the months and years ahead. Nigerian States IGR Awards program is owned and organized by Alford Conferences Limited, the publisher of REVENUE.
