<p>“We thank Governor Yusuf for all the political support given to the service. We are also grateful to our technical partners whose contributions have been commendable,” the chairman added.</p>
<p>Dr. Abubakar disclosed that the agency has embarked on a series of infrastructural and technological upgrades aimed at modernizing tax administration in the state. He noted that the service had already commissioned the Gyadi-Gyadi Tax Centre and a new call centre to improve taxpayer engagement and service delivery.</p>
<p>He further announced that another tax office located in Nassarawa would be commissioned within the next two weeks to oversee municipal tax operations in the area.</p>
<p>The chairman also highlighted improvements in operational equipment and digital infrastructure within the service. According to him, before the current administration assumed office, the agency had only 60 computers, but the number has now risen to over 300.</p>
<p>“We are working to provide all the necessary equipment needed for effective service delivery. I want to call on every member of staff to take their responsibilities seriously,” he stated.</p>
<p>Dr. Abubakar also revealed that the Kano State Government was considering improved welfare packages for workers in the revenue service. He said plans were underway to remove staff remuneration from the mainstream civil service structure and align it with better-performing revenue agencies in states such as Lagos.</p>
<p>“The state governor is committed to improving the welfare package of workers so it can be in tandem with what is obtainable in states like Lagos,” he said.</p>
<p>Also speaking at the event, the Director of Revenue Compliance, Muhammad Abba Aliyu, described the commissioning as a major opportunity for staff of the compliance and enforcement department.</p>
<p>He urged workers under the unit to adopt a renewed attitude toward their duties and take advantage of the improved working environment to increase performance.</p>
<p>“This is a golden opportunity for the commissioning of the Compliance and Enforcement Office. I urge all staff under the office to change their attitude from today and double their efforts,” he said.</p>
<p>A representative of Mannan Professional Services, technical partners to the revenue service, expressed appreciation for being part of the initiative and voiced confidence that the compliance team would effectively utilize the new facility in carrying out its responsibilities.</p>
<p>In his remarks, the Kano State Commissioner of Finance, Dr. Aliyu Danmaraya, who was represented by the Permanent Secretary of the ministry, Amina Yusuf Yargaya, commended the efforts of the revenue service toward improving tax compliance and boosting state development.</p>
<p>He noted that effective revenue generation remains one of the most important strategies for sustainable economic growth and infrastructure development in Kano State.</p>
