PIRS Plateau Recorded N3.3bn Internally Generated Revenue In January 2025

PIRS Plateau recorded N3.3bn internally generated revenue in January 2025. Mr Wayas said this achievement aimed to meet the service’s target of N52 billion in 2025.

The Plateau Internal Revenue Service (PIRS) says it generated more than N3.3 billion as internally generated revenue (IGR) in January.

Jim Wayas, the chairman of PIRS, disclosed this in an interview with journalists on Monday in Jos.
Mr Wayas said this achievement aimed to meet the service’s target of N52 billion in 2025.

“We started 2025 on a strong footing; in January alone, we have already generated slightly above N3.3 billion. “This is a departure from what we generated in the past; in January 2024, for instance, we generated N1.6 billion only.

“So, it means that we are starting on a better footing towards meeting our target for the year,” he said.

Mr Wayas said that despite the tough economic realities, the service had adopted some friendly measures towards improving the IGR of the state.

“Economic activities are not booming as they should, but the idea is that we are not strangulating businesses to fund government activity or businesses.

“What we are doing is to also encourage business. For the nano businesses, we are not even saying come and pay by all means because we know they are trying to survive.

“Like I will always say, we are not taxing the seed, that is the capital, but we are taxing the income you make out of the capital,” he explained.

The chairman said the government was bridging the state’s infrastructure deficit, calling on the residents to pay their taxes regularly for better service delivery.
