State Governors on Tuesday met with Commissioners of Finance and heads of authorities in Abuja to discuss how to jerk up tax collection in states.

The meeting came a day after the governors signed a memorandum of understanding with the Joint Tax Board.

The Ekiti State Governor and Chairman of Nigeria Governors’ Forum, Dr Kayode Fayemi, who spoke at the opening of the Internally Generated Revenue peer learning meeting said, the platform was to share reform experiences and consolidate actions.

“As commissioners of finance and heads of tax authorities, you are responsible for both tax policy and administration in your states.”
