A delegation from Nigeria’s National Defense College (NDC) visited the Togolese Revenue Office (OTR) on Wednesday as part of a regional study tour across six African countries, including Togo. The mission aims to deepen understanding of economic and security challenges in the region.
Discussions focused on the OTR’s mandate, its role in Togo’s socio-economic development, and ongoing efforts to combat fraud and illicit trade. The delegation also examined the collaboration between tax authorities and security forces in maintaining economic stability.
Established in 1992, the National Defense College is Nigeria’s premier military training institution, specializing in strategic education for senior officers. Over the years, it has trained numerous military and civilian leaders, including officers from various African nations.
In Togo, the OTR is responsible for mobilizing tax and customs revenues, with a target of 1,208 billion CFA francs for the current fiscal year.
