This remarkable feat is a testament to the relentless efforts of the Nigeria Revenue Service (NRS) to boost revenue collection and drive economic growth.
The NRS’s intensified collection efforts have yielded a staggering 18.5% month-on-month increase in VAT receipts, surpassing the benchmark of N625.13 billion.
