The Taraba State Internal Revenue Service (TIRS) and the Taraba Investment and Property Company (TARIP) have begun strategic discussions aimed at unlocking greater revenue from the state’s investments and boosting Internally Generated Revenue (IGR).
The strategic meeting, held on Thursday, August 20, 2026, at the TARIP office in Jalingo, focused on strengthening collaboration between both institutions and identifying opportunities to improve revenue returns from government-owned properties, investments and companies.
Speaking during the meeting, TIRS Executive Directors/Board Members Idi A. Ivo, Theophilus K. Japheth and Magai B. Agyo said the Service was open to stronger collaboration and synergy with Ministries, Departments and Agencies (MDAs) to improve revenue collection and expand the state’s IGR base.
The Board Members noted that Taraba’s investments in properties and companies could generate significantly higher revenue if properly managed and effectively integrated into the state’s revenue framework.
They emphasized the importance of closer institutional cooperation and effective monitoring to ensure that government-owned investments contribute optimally to the state’s revenue and overall economic development.
Responding, the Managing Director of TARIP, Jibrin Useni, appreciated the TIRS Board Members for the visit and commended the Service for its concerted efforts to improve Taraba State’s IGR.
Useni assured that TARIP would continue to strengthen its efforts to ensure that Taraba’s investments are effectively managed and positioned to generate greater value for the state.
The meeting reinforces the commitment of TIRS and TARIP to working together to unlock the revenue potential of Taraba’s investments and contribute to the state’s sustainable economic development.
