  • Bayelsa State has recorded a historic increase in its Internally Generated Revenue (IGR).

  • The significant increase is attributed to the introduction of an electronic ticketing (e-ticketing) system, which has eliminated cash leakages, curbed corruption, and improved transparency in tax collection.

Bayelsa State has announced a significant increase in its Internally Generated Revenue (IGR), hitting N4.2 billion in a single month, marking a 320% surge from previous figures.

This historic achievement is attributed to the introduction of an electronic ticketing (e-ticketing) system, which has eliminated cash leakages, curbed corruption, and improved transparency in tax collection.

According to Daniel Eniekezimene, Chairman of the Bayelsa State Internal Revenue Service (BIRS), the government transitioned to a fully automated tax collection system, ensuring that all payments from transport operators, traders, and businesses go directly into state coffers.
