According to him, collaboration becomes necessary considering the huge demands by the electorate for people-oriented programmes in the State.
Aliyu added that his 9-point innovative agenda was designed in line with the yearnings and aspirations of the people of the State, hence the need to source more funds to meet the people’s expectations.
He also charged CITN to ensure massive sensitization of Nigerians on the importance of paying taxes, saying that not many Nigerians are aware of their responsibility when it comes to paying taxes.
He described CITN as a body of professionals who have a lot to contribute to national development and charged them to use their expertise to assist the country in its revenue generation.

He described taxation as. an essential tool in meeting the demands of the citizenry, hence the need for the conference to explore more ways through which tax collection can be enhanced in the country.
Agbeluyi commended the governor for his support to the Institute which he described as worthy of emulation.
Speakers at the conference described it as timely and commended the CITN for organising it.
