Katsina State Governor Dikko Radda has announced a dramatic surge in the state’s monthly Internally Generated Revenue (IGR), rising from N400 million to N3 billion.
Rafa made this known on Monday when he received a delegation of commissioners and management staff members of the Revenue Mobilisation, Allocation and Fiscal Commission (RMAFC), led by Saad Ibrahim-Bello, who were on a visit.
He attributed the increase to policy actions introduced by his administration, especially the blocking of revenue leakages and implementation of the Treasury Single Account (TSA) system across government agencies.
“Through deliberate reforms, especially the blocking of leakages and the introduction of the Treasury Single Account, we have significantly improved our revenue performance,” Radda said.
The governor said the reforms had not only boosted revenue but also strengthened transparency and accountability in the management of public funds.

“These measures have enhanced transparency and accountability across all government institutions,” he added.
Radda also said the state government achieved close to 90 per cent implementation of its campaign promises since assuming office.
According to him, the achievements cut across agriculture, education, Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) development, public service reforms, and security enhancement.
Earlier, Ibrahim-Bello said the team was in Katsina to commence a nationwide data verification exercise aimed at improving revenue allocation accuracy.
He explained that the exercise was part of the Commission’s constitutional mandate under Paragraph 32(b) of Part I of the Third Schedule of the 1999 Constitution.
