AJUMBE TARGETS IMPROVED IGR FOR IMO STATE

Determined to take the Internally Generated Revenue of the state to the next level, the commissioner for Internal Resources and Pension Matters, Chief Vitalis Ajumbe has stated his preparedness to champion a new era of IGR drive for economic growth and development.

His readiness to be result-oriented was made known to the public when he visited the Eze Imo, His Royal Majesty, Eze Samuel Ohiri in Owerri recently.

Speaking during the visit, Chief Ajumbe disclosed his determination to work with the Traditional Institution for revenue drive and admonished the Traditional Rulers to distinguish themselves as role models to their subjects in payment of tax as it is a civic responsibility for every taxable adult in the state.

Ajumbe hinted that he has outlined modalities for effectiveness and efficiency on the job, adding that the ministry is paramount in the socio-economic growth of the state.

He expressed hope that the state IGR will soon make significant improvement and will help in tackling the present dwindling economy.

In his speech, Eze Imo advised the commissioner to work with dedicated staff that would help him achieve his aims and objectives for the ministry and the state in general.

He described Ajumbe as a result-oriented leader who performed creditably when he was the Board Chairman of Imo Broadcasting Corporation (IBC).

Also present at the meeting is the permanent Secretary of the ministry, Mr Charles Osigwelem and a host of others.
