Ugwuanyi who made the charge during the formal inauguration of the reconstituted Board, noted that the Internal Revenue Service in the state was crucial to the economic well-being of the government to deliver dividends of democracy to the people of the state, especially “in these days of severe national economic depression that is threatening the solvency of government at all levels”

The governor also charged the Board, which has a seasoned banker, financial expert and luxury real estate operator, Mr. Chukwuemeka Anthony Odo as Chairman, to ensure the effective collection of all the revenue accruable to the government as well as checkmate all avenues of leakages and wastages in the process.
