GOVERNMENT SPECIAL ANNOUNCEMENT

This is to inform all concerned that, the IGR Policy of the state did not provide for appointment of revenue agents.

MDAs are by this notice directed not to appoint any agent for the year 2017, as Abia State Government will not be held liable for any contravention.

All Revenue matters must be directed to the IGR council.

Motor Licensing Authorities have been advised to cooperate and partner with Abia Insurance Brokers Limited in order to enhance and accelerate rapid increase in the State IGR.

This was made known to them recently during a meeting of all Motor Licensing Authorities of the 17 LGA’s of the State and delegates of Abia Insurance Brokers limited led by their General Manager Mrs. Ngozi Sunday-Chika at the Board conference room.

Mr. Udochukwu Ogbonna, chairman of the Abia State Internal Revenue Service, gives his views on the issue surrounding Governor Ikpeazu’s tax papers.

OGBONNA said: That the tax clearance certificate referred to in that Judgment was duly issued to Dr. Okezie Victor Ikpeazu by the Service, and was therefore not fake.

Every State has the potential to be self-sufficient if only the state can harness her potentials adequately. The reduction in global oil prices and volume demands has now made diversification of the Nigerian economy from over-dependence on oil a mandatory policy issue. Oil revenue dependence has essentially made both the federal and state governments to seek for other viable sources of raising fund.
