Between January and September 2021,\u00a0Plateau State Internal Revenue Service (PSIRS) generated N17 billion Internally Generated Revenue (IGR).<\/p>\n

Chairman, Plateau State Internal Revenue Service (PSIRS),\u00a0Mr Arlat Dasogot,\u00a0\u00a0made the disclosure at the state\u2019s revenue council whistle-blowing sub-committee stakeholder engagement on Monday, in Jos.<\/p>\n

The chairman said that the target of the service was to generate at least N2 billion monthly, but was only able to realise over a billion per month, except for June and August that was lower than a billion.<\/p>\n

He noted that when fully implemented, the Plateau revenue law, enacted in November 2020, would significantly boost the state\u2019s IGR.<\/p>\n

\u201cEfforts to implement the law fully has been on, we have been working with our partners comprising mostly professionals.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are implementing the law together with Ministries, Agencies and Departments (MDAs) and we are witnessing improvements in revenues the MDA have been collecting.<\/p>\n

\u201cPrior to the law, the MDAs\u00a0were not fully accounting for the revenues they were collecting, but with the law, they know that they must account for the revenues they collect.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are making progress but we are not yet there, but we are not losing hope,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

He said that the whistle-blowing mechanism was putting them on their toes and that the public was free to report whatever the service was not doing right.<\/p>\n

Dasogot added that whistle-blowing would help PSIRS to redefine its compass, adding that where leakages were identified, the whistle-blowing should report them so that it would be taken to the revenue council to address.<\/p>\n

Dr Nancy Katu-Ogundimu, Chairperson, whistle-blowing sub-committee of the revenue council, said that the engagement was to present the whistleblowing operational guidelines and procedures to the stakeholders.<\/p>

Katu-Ogundimu assured of the state revenue council\u2019s commitment to the highest standards of transparency, accountability and probity.<\/p>\n

\u201cTo achieve this, the council set up a whistleblowing sub-committee, in line with Article 2.4 of the Governance Charter, to encourage members of the public and stakeholders to bring out helpful information in enforcing the Revenue Law 2020.<\/p>\n

\u201cAn important aspect of ensuring accountability and transparency is a mechanism to enable employees of the Plateau government, members of the public and stakeholders to voice concerns in a responsible and effective manner.<\/p>\n

\u201cTo this end, the whistleblowing mechanism is aimed at encouraging the public and employees of the state government, members of the public and all stakeholders to share information that will be helpful in effectively enforcing the Revenue Law 2020,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

The chairperson further said that the committee would ensure a high level of confidentiality for whistleblowers, while all allegations would be thoroughly investigated.<\/p>\n

According to her, disciplinary recommendations would be made by the council, where necessary, to sanction any staff or member of the council found wanting in the discharge of their responsibilities.<\/p>\n

The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that the highlights of the Plateau State Consolidated Revenue Law 2020 were presented to the meeting by the representative of the state Attorney General and Commissioner for Justice.<\/p>\n

Mr\u00a0Philip Wallok, Chairman, Plateau House of Assembly Committee on Finance, said that apart from making laws, the assembly also monitored the implementation of laws.<\/p>\n

NAN reports that the stakeholders were drawn from different critical sectors to make their inputs on how the whistle-blowing sub-committee could achieve its mandate with a view to shoring up the state\u2019s revenues.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
