Cross River State faced significant challenges in managing its Internal Revenue Service (IRS) operations manually. With a growing number of taxpayers and increasing demands for efficient service delivery, the need for automation was evident. Nugi Technologies stepped in to transform how the State managed its revenue generation processes.

The challenge was not just about improving operational efficiency but also enhancing taxpayer satisfaction and compliance.
