Kaduna State Governor, Uba Sani, has disclosed that the national tax revenue has risen to ₦21.6 trillion since President Bola Tinubu introduced tax reforms in 2026.

The Governor made this known at the 160th edition of the Joint Revenue Board meeting, which held in Kaduna on Wednesday, with the theme, “One Year of Tax Reform: Assessing Progress and Addressing Challenges.’’

According to him, the nation’s revenue was approximately ₦10.1 trillion in 2023, ₦21.6 trillion in 2024 and about ₦36.8 trillion in 2025.

“In the first half of 2026 alone, revenue reached approximately ₦21.6 trillion, representing a 49 percent increase over the corresponding period of the previous year,’’ he pointed out.

The Governor commended President Tinubu for taking what he described as ‘’the bold and politically demanding decision to fundamentally reform Nigeria’s tax architecture through landmark legislation, including the Act that transformed the former Joint Tax Board into the Joint Revenue Board.’’

That decision reflected a profound understanding: that a modern economy cannot be sustained by an outdated, fragmented or overly complex revenue system.

“Nigeria requires a tax architecture that is coherent, predictable, efficient and capable of supporting national development without unnecessarily constraining enterprise and investment,’’ he argued.
