On Thursday, the Kebbi State House of Assembly successfully passed the Kebbi State Harmonised Taxes and Levies Collection Bill, following thorough deliberations and approval by the Committee of the Whole.

Upon governor's approval, it is projected to refine the state's tax administration, enhance revenue collection, standardize the taxation process, and tackle leakages in internally generated revenue. Addressing reporters post-passage, Chairman of the House Committee on Finance and Appropriation, Hon. Adamu Muhammad Birnin Yauri, expressed optimism about the legislation.
