Plateau Revenue Service To Automate Revenue Collection Processes, Block Leakages

The Chairman, Plateau Internal Revenue Service (PIRS), Mr Jim Pam, says as part of efforts to boost revenue generation and block leakages, the service will automate all its revenue collection processes.

Mr Pam stated this on Friday in Jos, the capital of Plateau State North Central Nigeria when he was screened and confirmed as PIRS Chairman by the Plateau House of Assembly.

The new chairman assured Plateau people that he would put in his best to improve the revenue generation of the state for the good of all.

He said that the service operations would be in line with Plateau State Revenue Law 2002.

During the screening, the lawmakers asked the appointee series of questions to assess his capability in handling the office of the Chief Revenue Officer of the state.

The Speaker, Moses Sule in a voice vote, asked members whether the nominee should be confirmed, and the members unanimously confirmed the appointment of Pam as the substantive Chairman of PIRS.

Pam, a chartered accountant with specialisation in taxes, hails from Foron District of Barkin Ladi Local Government Area of the state.

Before his appointment, he was a staff of the Federal Inland Revenue Service FIRS.

He, therefore, promised to replicate what the FIRS was doing at the federal level in the state.
