The Ondo State Internal Revenue Service (ODIRS) has dismissed a report circulating on social media claiming that the state generated ₦22.4 billion as Internally Generated Revenue (IGR) in the first half of 2025.
In a statement issued on Monday, the agency described the report as misleading and not reflective of the state’s actual revenue performance.
“The viral publication claimed that Ondo State generated ₦22,483,369,409.97 within the period under review. We wish to categorically state that this information is incorrect and does not reflect the true revenue performance of the State,” ODIRS said.
According to the agency, the official and verifiable figure for the state’s IGR within the first half of the year, as published on the Joint Tax Board (JTB) portal, is ₦28,154,864,901.17.
“ODIRS remains committed to transparency, accountability, and the continuous growth of Ondo State’s revenue base in line with global best practices. We therefore urge the general public and stakeholders to always verify information from credible and official sources before dissemination,” the statement added.
The Service assured residents that it would continue to work diligently to grow the state’s revenue for sustainable development.
“The people of Ondo State can be assured that the Service will continue to work tirelessly to improve revenue generation towards the sustainable development of our dear State,” ODIRS noted.
