Abia State Deputy Governor, Dr. Ude Chukwu, has called for synergy between the state government and the 17 councils, as well as other stakeholders in revenue generation, towards increasing government revenue.
The deputy governor, who chairs the state’s Internally-Generated Revenue (IGR) Council, during a meeting in his office, stated that it was government’s resolve to run a seamless IGR system.
By so doing, he said, double taxation would be minimised and any issue that would not encourage investment in the state jettisoned.
Chairman of Abia State Economic Advancement Team, Chief Mark Atasie, disclosed that Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) between the Association of Local Governments of Nigeria (ALGON) and the state government on issues of revenue collection, harmonisation and multiple taxation had been put in place.
