Lagos State Governor, Babajide Sanwo-Olu, on Thursday launched the Lagos Revenue Portal (LRP) as part of his administration’s commitment to innovation, transparency, and ease of doing business in the state.
Speaking during launch of the portal in Ikeja, Governor Sanwo-Olu urged every Lagos resident—whether an individual, entrepreneur, or corporate entity—to embrace the innovation.
He said that the “success of the platform depends on its adoption by the people it is designed to serve,” urging the people to “make the most of this opportunity to simplify our interactions with the government and contribute to the growth and development of our beloved state.”
According to the governor, “The Lagos Revenue Portal is a testament to our belief that good governance is about making life easier for the people. It is about removing obstacles, creating opportunities, and ensuring that every Lagosian can participate in the progress of our state.”
Describing the event as another milestone in the state government’s collective effort to transform Lagos into the most business-friendly state in Nigeria, Sanwo-Olu said:
“The launch of the Lagos Revenue Portal (LRP) represents our commitment to innovation, transparency, and ease of doing business in Lagos State.”
While stating that the importance of efficient revenue collection cannot be overemphasised, the governor added: “It is the lifeblood of governance and development. Through it, we can fund critical infrastructure, provide essential services, and improve the quality of life for every Lagosian. However, achieving this requires a system that is not only robust but also transparent and user-friendly. This is where the Lagos Revenue Portal comes in.”
According to him: “The Lagos Revenue Portal is more than just a platform; it is a game-changer. It is designed to streamline the payer enumeration process, making it easier for individuals and businesses to comply with their tax obligations.
“By simplifying this process, we are removing barriers to compliance, which will, in turn, boost our revenue base. But more than that, we are promoting a culture of accountability and transparency in revenue collection.”
Sanwo-Olu stated that the portal aligns with the state “broader vision of making Lagos a smart city—a place where technology and innovation drive progress.
“By digitising our revenue collection process, we are not only enhancing the ease of doing business but also positioning Lagos as a model for other states in Nigeria and beyond. We are setting a standard for governance that leverages technology to deliver efficient and transparent services to the people,” the governor said.
According to him, “the Lagos Revenue Portal is a testament to our belief that good governance is about making life easier for the people. It is about removing obstacles, creating opportunities, and ensuring that every Lagosian can participate in the progress of our state.
“With this platform, we are one step closer to realizing our vision of a Greater Lagos—a Lagos where innovation meets governance, and progress is inclusive for all.”
