Abdullahi newsmen that the state generated N1.6 billion in July, which doubled the N700 million and N800 million generated in November and December in 2015.
The commissioner said that plans had been concluded to build a strong revenue service with brilliant team to actualise the N3.5 billion IGR target.
He said that a world-class consultant had been hired to achieve this, adding that the effort was already yielding positive result.
He explained that the state was able to double its IGR in the past few months by not imposing a single tax.
In fact the new tax law that we have passed reduces some tax rates; we only improved efficiency in tax collection.
Abdullahi said that the Kaduna State Government was advertising contracts while other states were struggling to pay basic salaries because the state had cut the cost of governance.
