Yero gave the warning in Kaduna while inaugurating the Taxpayer Biometrics Card Registration System in the state.

The Governor warned that the state would no longer tolerate diversion of its revenues, advising the officials to ensure that every person pays based on what the law stipulates.

He said that the state currently generates only 1billion Naira monthly and directed the board to raise its collection to not less than N3billion every month.

He also advised them to widen their scope and get more people captured in the new taxpayer biometrics, to enable the government generate enough revenue with which to execute developmental projects.

The Governor, his deputy, as well as other top government officials were registered during the exercise.
