According to her, the State has reviewed its revenue processes to streamline operations and improve the ease of doing business across the revenue value chain.
She also highlighted the ongoing infrastructure revolution as the backbone for economic growth and development in the state.
Dr. Nuru further noted the strides in land administration reforms, such as improved land titling, issuing certificates of occupancy, and digitizing land records to ensure transparency and accessibility for citizens and investors.
Earlier in his remarks, Programme Officer Brain Builder Youth Development Initiative (BBYDI) , Ramat Owolabi stressed the importance of collaboration with the government on tax compliance and grievance resolution.
