The event was organised by the JTB in collaboration with the Katsina state board of internal revenue service. “In order to make sure that everybody benefits from that N3,500, there is a portion of it that belongs to internal revenue service, the vendor and the consultant.”Nana-Aisha explained that the exercise was tailored to providing ample sensitisation and awareness among relevant stakeholders and ensure a thorough understanding of the SIRTS and SHF initiatives.
The executive secretary said it has a negative impact on the safety and well-being of road users and operators of the country’s transportation corridors,Nana-Aisha said while the legislation placed road taxes administration on state governments, encroachment by non-state government actors has made the administration disorganised and an avenue for indiscriminate tax collections.
