INTERNALLY GENERATED REVENUE (IGR) CONFERENCE: CASE STUDY OF EDO STATE

Abstract

With the monumental task of society building facing any responsible government, it is necessary, especially in these unpredictable times of global oil price volatility, to seek for ways to harness alternative sources of revenue generation to fund government, projects, programmes and policies.

Internally Generated Revenue is the primary tool employed by Governments to raise revenue for the development of all sectors of the economy and under the emerging global realities, societies that intend to get to the next level of development require their institutions to be strengthened and their systems to become more efficient.

It is in the light of the foregoing that we present a case study of Edo State and our experience in the administration of tax and revenue.
