Breaking: Kaduna Revenue Service Asks MDAs to Process KAEDCO’s Outstanding Liabilities


Kaduna Electric has come under heightened scrutiny as the Kaduna State Internal Revenue Service (KDIRS) instructed  Ministries, Departments, and Agencies (MDAs) to process all outstanding liabilities owed by the company. 

This was made known in a statement signed by    Jerry Adams, the Executive Chairman of KDIRS.


The directive followed the recent disconnection of the Kaduna State Government House by Kaduna Electric over an alleged debt of N2.9 billion.

Adams said KDIRS  invoked Section 3, Subsection 2 (b) and (c) of the Kaduna State Tax Codification and Consolidation Law, which mandates the collection and enforcement of taxes, levies, fees, and rates due to all MDAs and local governments in the state.

According to him, the sealing of the Kaduna Electric Distribution Company (KAEDCO) head office was due to a N600 million tax liability. “However, other levies, fines, and rates owed by the company remain unresolved. Consequently, KDIRS has directed the following state MDAs to submit their outstanding liabilities for enforcement:

“Kaduna State Geographic Information Service (KADGIS), Kaduna State Water Administration Corporation (KADSWAC), Kaduna State Water Regulatory Commission and Kaduna Environmental Protection Agency (KEPA)”

Adams then reaffirmed the agency's commitment to equitable taxation. He emphasized that the Service would not impose excessive tax burdens on the poor but would target tax-evasive and non-compliant organizations and high-net-worth individuals.

"The Kaduna State Internal Revenue Service is dedicated to ensuring fair taxation and will take necessary actions against entities that fail to comply with tax laws, irrespective of their status," said Adams.

He concluded that KDIRS remains open to dialogue with KAEDCO and all relevant stakeholders to resolve these issues amicably. This development highlights the ongoing challenge of balancing investment incentives with strict enforcement of tax compliance in Kaduna.

BELLO EL-RUFAI THE BESPECTACLED PYGMY . By Comrade Musa Mohammed (Moonlight) It is disheartening, Bello El-Rufai, as a federal lawmaker, entrusted with representing the people, for resorting such behaviour, attempting to obstruct the lawful functions of the kaduna State House of Assembly. Your attempts Bello, intimidation, threats or your erratic and unruly actions will not stop the kaduna legislatives  to investigate financial dealings, loans, grants, and projects implementation from 2015-2023 in Kaduna State,  Bello El-Rufai, you should go ahead with your threat. A word is enough for you, your father, and family all, if you are wise. It is very unfortunate that your biological father, Nasir Ahmed El-Rufai is the worse thing that ever happened to Kaduna State. The man that plunged the state in deep fire but God pass the idiot.  Our greatest pain is that there were few people that never saw anything bad about all the nefarious activities of that satanic agent ...
