Members of the Tricycle Operators Association of Nigeria, Anambra state chapter have expressed support to Governor Chukwuma Soludo on his new tax regime in the state.
The union made this known during a peaceful and solidarity visit to the Government House, Awka.
Addressing members of the union, the Chief of Staff to the Governor, Mr. Ernest Ezeajughi, thanked them for the visit and commended them for the peaceful manners they comported themselves.
Mr. Ezeajughi, who praised members of the union for accepting government’s decision that they will be paying fifteen thousand naira monthly, which is five hundred naira daily, urged them to enroll in enumeration exercise at the Anambra Internal Revenue Service for them to be captured.
The Chief of Staff to the Governor pointed out that the Soludo administration has come to reposition the socioeconomic wellbeing of Ndi Anambra, and promised that government will give account of every kobo spent.
The Anambra State Commissioner for Homeland Affairs, Chief Chikodili Anara also commended members of the union for the solidarity visit and explained that what the current administration in the state has done is to ensure that touts and illegal revenue collectors are taken out of the parks and roads, and urged them to keep supporting the Soludo administration.
Earlier, the leader of the Tricycle Operators of Nigeria, Awka zone, Prince Collins Ozojiofor, stated that the visit was to inform the Governor that they are solidly behind him, and that they were not part of those he called hired impostors who blocked some roads in the state recently, claiming dissatisfaction with the new tax regime.
Some of the placards carried by members of the union read, ‘digitalized revenue collection is the new normal’, ‘say no to revenue thieves’, ‘we are solidly behind Soludo’, among others.
