The visit was to appreciate the Abdulrahaman Abdulrazak led administration through the Service for the various Community Impact Projects in  markets across the State and the State in general and to also solicit more supports of the government in critical identified areas such as good drainage system, motor able roads, solar light, modern toilets,drinkable water and umbrellas for the use of markets to aid revenue drive and improve voluntary tax compliance in markets across the State.

The markets association assured KW-IRS of its continuous collaboration in ensuring the acceptance of the ticketing model approach of revenue drive in all markets of the State and cooperation as required.

In her response, the Executive Chairman, KW-IRS, Shade Omoniyi commended the association for their cooperation and compliance to payment of Personal Income Tax, while soliciting more harmonious and mutually benefial relationship among all associations and the Service, so as to have in place that desired Kwara.

Omoniyi reiterated that KW-IRS runs on approved budget and monthly subvention, just as other MDAs in the State, but will not relent in supporting developmental projects in the State as much as the approved budget for community impact programs could accommodate.
