Anamba Tasks Citizens On Regular Payment Of Tax

The Anambra State  commissioner for Economic Planning, Mark Okoye, has urged eligible tax payers in the state to show commitment in the payment of their taxes at the right time.

Okoye made the statement in Awka while announcing the arrest of 250 illegal revenue collectors who were later charged to court.

He said, “We implore the public to shun any act that goes against the developmental vision of the state as the government would not hesitate to lawfully deal with any defaulter.”

The commissioner said that the government under the watch of Chief Willie Obiano was committed to delivering democratic dividends to the people.

Okoye said the state government had presented a realistic budget to the state lawmakers for the year 2020 and assured the residents of better days ahead.

Okoye said that the state government had implemented the 2019 budget up to 85 per cent and assured that by end of the year, the budget would be reasonably implemented.

“We scaled down on the size of 2020 budget because we are a realistic government and we intend to have a people oriented budget,” he said.

Mrs Sylvia Nwahukwu-Ngige. Head, Tax Payer Education, Publicity and Enlightenment Team in Anambra state Revenue office, corroborated the claims of the commissioner.

“She said, Since the arrest, people had been careful by doing the right thing towards government.

“Our office has since been crowded by people who come to pay or remit their revenue to avoid arrest and shutting down of their business premises”.
