The Plateau Bloggers and Online Media Association (PLABOMA) has reaffirmed its dedication to fostering public trust and awareness through digital media during a courtesy visit to the Plateau State Internal Revenue Service (PSIRS).
Addressing the gathering, PLABOMA Chairman Matthew Tegha delivered a compelling speech on the transformative role of taxation in driving development across Plateau State.
“PSIRS is a cornerstone of our state’s development, mobilizing resources for critical sectors like infrastructure, education, healthcare, and public welfare,” Tegha said. He emphasized the need for collaboration to enhance tax compliance, proposing a year-long retainership agreement to leverage PLABOMA’s expertise in digital storytelling and public engagement.
“Through our platforms, we can counter misinformation, provide real-time updates, and educate citizens on how tax compliance translates into societal benefits. Together, we can foster transparency, trust, and greater revenue generation for the state,” he added.
The Executive Chairman of PSIRS, Jim Pam Wayas, praised PLABOMA’s proactive approach and innovative vision.
“I am deeply impressed by the enthusiasm and dedication of the Plateau Bloggers and Online Media Association. Digital platforms are vital for bridging the gap between government and the public, and your proposal aligns perfectly with our mission,” Mr. Wayas said.
He assured attendees of PSIRS’s commitment to meaningful partnerships that enhance tax education and compliance, describing the initiative as the start of a transformative chapter in public engagement.
This visit sets the stage for a productive collaboration aimed at improving tax awareness, fostering transparency, and driving economic and social development in Plateau State.
