Stakeholders in the police ecosystem have begun the process of improving revenue generation for enhanced welfare and developmental projects.
Specifically, officials of the Ministry of Police Affairs and Internally Generated Revenue desk officers from all police commands, in collaboration with the Federal Inland Revenue Service, FIRS, are brainstorming in Enugu on the challenges of revenue and how to think outside the box to improve sources of revenue generation in the police ecosystem.
The Permanent Secretary, James Sule, represented by the Director of Finance and Accounts, Okehie Tochukwu, pointed out that the conference provides another opportunity to examine the impact assessment of the internally generated revenue, IGR.
James urged them to leverage on data intelligence to curb revenue loss and imbibe a culture of professionalism and accountability to improve their revenue drive.
He stressed the need to uphold the principles of fairness, transparency, and accountability, which are paramount to winning the trust and confidence of stakeholders in the country.
Recall that President Bola Tinubu has mandated everybody in the ministries, departments and agencies involved in revenue generation to be up and doing to improve the revenue that would form part of the entire federation to tackle developmental projects in the country.
