Kaduna’s Tax Surge Revealed | Nigeria News

Kaduna State’s tax revenue skyrocketed from 58 billion naira to 85 billion naira in just two years — and is now trending toward 120 billion annually — but the real story? Most of that gain came from collecting old debts, selling assets, and one-time windfalls, not from a growing tax base. Realizing this, the state pivoted: they expanded their net to bring more businesses and individuals into the system, digitized operations with tools like PAYKADUNA, hired and equipped more staff, opened new offices, and teamed up with agencies like the Nigeria Revenue Service. The result? Tax compliance jumped from 30% to 65%, fueled by rising trust — proving this success is a collaborative win for government, taxpayers, and everyone in between.
