PRESS STATEMENT
ODIRS DEBUNKS FALSE INFORMATION ON ONDO STATE IGR FIGURES
The attention of the Ondo State Internal Revenue Service (ODIRS) has been drawn to a misleading report currently circulating on social media and other online platforms regarding the Internally Generated Revenue (IGR) of Ondo State for the first half of 2025.
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.
For the avoidance of doubt, the official and verifiable figure for Ondo State’s IGR as at the first half of 2025, as published on the Joint Tax Board (JTB) portal, stands at ₦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 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.

Bayo Rojugbokan, FCTI FCA
