In a congratulatory message on Tuesday, Agusa commended Ighrakpata for providing purposeful leadership that has strengthened the state’s internally generated revenue and enhanced public confidence in the tax administration system.
He noted that the reforms introduced under the DSIRS chairman’s leadership have modernised revenue collection processes, improved operational efficiency and contributed significantly to the financial stability required to drive Governor Sheriff Oborevwori’s development agenda across Delta State.
According to Agusa, the consistent growth in internally generated revenue has created greater opportunities for government to invest in critical infrastructure, education, healthcare and other people-centred programmes that continue to improve the quality of life of Deltans.
“I congratulate Hon. Chief Solomon Ighrakpata on this remarkable milestone of three impactful years at the helm of the Delta State Internal Revenue Service.

Through prudent reforms and efficient revenue administration, the Service has continued to support the economic growth and development of our dear state.”
The governor’s aide further described Ighrakpata as a disciplined administrator whose dedication and strategic approach have earned the respect of stakeholders while positioning the Delta State Internal Revenue Service among the country’s leading revenue agencies.
Agusa also applauded the continued efforts of Governor Oborevwori in creating an enabling environment for institutions to thrive, noting that improved internally generated revenue remains a critical pillar for sustainable development and effective service delivery.
He expressed confidence that the DSIRS chairman would sustain the momentum of ongoing reforms and continue to introduce initiatives that would further strengthen the state’s fiscal capacity.
“As you celebrate this third anniversary in office, I pray that God grants you greater wisdom, sound health and renewed strength to continue delivering exceptional service to Delta State. May your leadership continue to inspire excellence and drive even greater achievements in the years ahead,” Agusa stated.
