By Preye Bagou, Yenagoa

Bayelsa State has recorded a remarkable achievement under the able leadership of Senator Douye Diri in its Internally Generated Revenue (IGR), hitting an unprecedented amount of N4.2 billion in a single month; a staggering 320% increase.

This remarkable feat is attributed to the innovative electronic ticketing system introduced by the Chairman of the State Internal Revenue Board, Dr. Daniel Eniekezimene.

The new electronic ticketing system has effectively blocked leakages in the internal generated revenue collection of the state, by ensuring that revenues are credibly, transparently accounted for.

The unprecedented improvement in the internal generated revenue of the state has brought encomiums on the Senator Douye Diri’s administration for its efforts in boosting the state’s IGR.

The introduction of the e-ticketing system is another proof of the government’s commitment to transparency and accountability.

With this innovation, tricycle riders and other businesses can now operate with ease of payment of taxes to the state government, knowing that their payments are secured and accurately recorded.

The impact of the e-ticketing system goes beyond revenue generation; it also reflects the government’s dedication to improving the lives of its citizens as more funds will be available to execute people oriented projects, programs and policies.

With the e-ticketing system in place, the state has been placed on sure path to achieve even greater heights in revenue generation in improving the welfare of the people of the state.
