Kaduna State Governor Uba Sani has disclosed that Nigeria generated about ₦21.6 trillion in tax revenue in the first half of 2026. He made the disclosure at the 160th Joint Revenue Board meeting in Kaduna, where he discussed the progress and challenges of Nigeria’s tax reforms.

He said the increase reflects the impact of the Federal Government’s tax reforms under President Bola Tinubu, which he described as a major effort to improve Nigeria’s revenue system.

Sani also commended Nigeria Revenue Service Chairman Zach Adedeji for his role in advancing the reforms, saying the goal should not only be to collect more money but to build a tax system based on fairness, transparency ...
