The Ondo State Internal Revenue Service (ODIRS) has dismissed a viral social media report which pegged the State’s Internally Generated Revenue (IGR) for the first half of 2025 at ₦22.4 billion. It describes it as misleading and inconsistent with official records.
According to figures published on the Joint Tax Board (JTB) portal, Ondo State’s IGR stood at ₦28.15 billion by the end of June 2025. This reflects a 132.53 per cent increase compared to the ₦21.24 billion realised within the same period in 2024.
The Acting Executive Chairman of ODIRS, Bayo Rojugbokan, explained that the misinformation currently in circulation does not reflect the State’s financial performance and urged the public to rely only on credible and verifiable sources for revenue data.
The ODIRS boss said the service remains committed to transparency, accountability and strengthening the State’s revenue base in line with global best practices.
He assured residents that the agency would continue to intensify efforts in revenue generation to support sustainable development projects across Ondo State.
