 Kogi Vows Clampdown on Illegal Tax Collectors and Extortionists


The Kogi State Internal Revenue Service (KGIRS) has reiterated its commitment to eliminating illegal tax collection and extortion across the state.

He also highlighted the state’s ongoing implementation of the Land Use Charge Law, which he said would boost infrastructure, improve public services, and support the development of smart cities in Kogi.
