GIRS FELICITATES WITH GOVERNOR MUHAMMADU INUWA YAHAYA, CON, ON 7TH YEAR ANNIVERSARY IN OFFICE
29th May 2026
The Executive Chairman, Board Members, Management and Staff of the Gombe State Internal Revenue Service, GIRS, extend their warmest congratulations to His Excellency, Governor Muhammadu Inuwa Yahaya, CON, Dan Majen Gombe, on his 7th anniversary as the Executive Governor of Gombe State. Seven years of visionary leadership have brought unprecedented transformation across every sector of the state.
In the past seven years, His Excellency has demonstrated exceptional commitment to good governance, fiscal responsibility, and inclusive development. Through his “Network” agenda, Gombe State has become a benchmark for infrastructural renewal, human capital development, and economic prosperity in the North East. His administration’s bold reforms have restored public confidence in government and attracted investments that are creating jobs for our teeming youths.
Under Governor Inuwa Yahaya’s stewardship, GIRS has undergone sweeping reforms that have modernized tax administration in the state. His “Gombe Goes Digital” policy and sustained support for automation, staff training, and taxpayer education have enabled the Service to block leakages, expand the tax net, and improve voluntary compliance. These reforms have been instrumental in boosting Internally Generated Revenue without imposing additional tax burdens on the people.
The Governor’s prudent management of resources has ensured that increased IGR translates directly into tangible dividends for Gombawas. From the construction of ultra-modern schools and hospitals, to road networks, rural electrification, water supply, and social intervention programmes, the impact of his leadership is visible in every local government. His focus on agriculture, MSMEs, and industrialization through projects like the Muhammadu Buhari Industrial Park is positioning Gombe as an investment destination.
As the revenue-generating arm of government, GIRS is proud to be a key partner in the success story of this administration. We reaffirm our total commitment to supporting the Governor’s vision by deploying innovation, transparency, and professionalism in revenue collection. We will continue to work tirelessly to ensure that every naira collected is accounted for and channeled towards the development priorities of the state.
As we mark this milestone, we pray Almighty Allah to continue to endow His Excellency with wisdom, good health, and the strength to deliver on his mandate. Gombe people are fortunate to have a leader who leads with integrity, compassion, and a clear vision for the future. Once again, congratulations Your Excellency on 7 years of selfless service and impactful leadership. Gombe is proud of you.
