The Niger State Internal Revenue Service (NGSIRS) has announced the launch of its online tax payment channels, which are now fully operational, marking a significant advancement in tax administration for residents of Niger State. Malam Usman N. Umar, the special adviser on Technical and Compliance at NGSIRS, detailed that the platform offers five payment methods: Bank Transfer, Online Payments, Parkway Wallet, Bank Branch payments via e-Bill Pay, and POS payments.

He encouraged all taxable adults to utilize these channels from their homes or business premises. Additionally, NGSIRS plans to initiate media campaigns aimed at educating the public on tax matters within the state.

The statement emphasized the importance of prompt tax payments to enable the administration of Governor Mohammed Umaru Bago to enhance public infrastructure, including schools, roads, and hospitals. Over recent years, there have been notable improvements in the state's internally generated revenue due to various innovations aimed at reducing leakages.
