Kogi Revenue Boss Pushes to Exceed Targets, Warns Staff Against Poor Performance

The executive chairman of the Kogi State Internal Revenue Service (KGIRS), Sule Salihu Enehe, has charged staff of the agency to step up their performance and exceed revenue targets as the state intensifies efforts to boost internally generated revenue.

Enehe gave the charge during the KGIRS 2025 Performance Review Meeting held at Edgedrive Hotels, Lokoja, on April 13–14, 2026.

While commending management and staff for their contributions to the 2025 revenue drive, the chairman urged Area Tax Managers (ATMs) to critically assess their leadership capacity and justify the confidence reposed in them.

He cautioned underperforming officers to improve or risk being edged out, stressing that every office holder must add value.

“Every individual office holder should justify their position, except you are sitting there as an imposter. Time may ease you out if you refuse to change positively,” Enehe warned.

Also speaking, the Special Adviser to the Governor on Internally Generated Revenue, Rahman Nasir Ichanyi, praised the agency’s leadership and workforce for their achievements, while calling for greater innovation and efficiency.

Ichanyi emphasized the need to block revenue leakages, strengthen compliance, and ensure collaboration across all levels to meet growing expectations.

The performance review meeting was convened to evaluate progress, identify gaps, and develop actionable strategies aimed at repositioning KGIRS for improved revenue generation.
