He urged the stakeholders to put heads together to produce a blueprint on IGR improvement, within the targeted period to achieve the set objective.
He added that the world did not favour countries that were mono-resource driven.
According to him, the situation had worsened with the global price of fossil fuels declining causing the world to shift to other alternatives.
Jibril called on other revenue generating agencies to up their games to raise the state’s revenue profile.
The Head of the Civil Service, Alhaji Usman Bala, Commissioner for Planning, Alhaji Musa Sulaiman; Chairman, Internal Revenue Services, Alhaji Abdulkadir Dambo and Permanent Secretary, Ministry of Finance, Lawan Abdulwahab, attended the workshop.
