The executive governor of Anambra State, Prof. Charles Chukwuma, Soludo, earlier today in Awka, held an interactive session with the leaders and stakeholders of private sector transportation and market unions in the state.
The session was geared towards the presentation and description of the reformed digital revenue collection system to the union leaders as the best technology-driven approach towards tax collection in the state.
Speaking at the event, the governor Prof. Chukwuma Soludo, stated among other things, that the reformed digital revenue collection system which will commence on the first day of July 2022 was designed to cut-down heavy taxation as well as shut down the loopholes and illegal windows through which the funds meant for the development of the state are siphoned into private pockets and enterprises. He maintained that this new system which would be technology-driven will aid his administration in running a people-oriented and transparent governance which will be instrumental to achieving the vision of his administration in making Anambra a more livable and prosperous environment.
Earlier, the duo of the State Commissioner for Transport and the Chairman of the Anambra Board of Internal Revenue; Hon. Barr (Mrs) Pat Igwebuike and Mr Richard Madiebo respectively, who took out time to give vivid explanation of the new system of tax collection to the union leaders, maintained that the new approach would simplify procedures, reduce the compliance burden on taxpayers and accelerates an efficient, streamlined and transparent collection of taxes in the state.
Some of the unions leaders who spoke at length eulogized the governor and his new system and style of governance which they said, would fast-track the development of the state. They stressed that their members have long been sensitized on the importance of tax payment as and when due, stressing that they would support the governor in his new system of governance geared towards making Anambra a more livable and prosperous home land.
