Jibril said that the state governor, Abba Kabir-Yusuf attaches great importance to all matters that would improve the development of the state IGR.
He urged the stakeholders to put heads together to produce a blueprint on IGR improvement, within targeted period to achieve the set objective.
He added that the current world did not favour countries that were mono-resource driven.
According to him, the situation had worsened with the global price of fossil fuels declining causing the world to shift to other alternatives.
Jibril called on other revenue generating agencies to up their games to raise the state’s revenue profile.
The Head of the Civil Service, Alhaji Usman Bala, Commissioner for Planing, Alhaji Musa Sulaiman, the Chairman, Internal Revenue Services, Alhaji Abdulkadir Dambo and the Permanent Secretary, Ministry of Finance, Lawan Abdulwahab attended the workshop.
