Governor Francis Nwifuru has assured that his administration would set up a special task force to checkmate illegal revenue collection in the state.
The governor in a press release issued by his Chief Press Secretary, Dr Monday Uzor announced this yesterday, saying his administration would also constitute another taskforce to get the state environment cleaner.
"We want to constitute Taskforce to get our environment clean because it is very important to us.
"Within the week there will be lots of work in our environment.
"Also, we will set up a taskforce to checkmate illegal revenue collection. A lot of people have been collecting revenue from petty traders without government approval and that has come to our knowledge.
"Many of you sacrificed to bring this government on board, therefore, we will not allow such a thing to continue," Nwifuru said.
The governor used the occasion to invite stakeholders to activities being hosted by the state within the week including, the National Council on Working Conference and the South East Zonal stakeholders meeting of the All Progressives Congress.
Meanwhile, Governor Nwifuru congratulated a retired Chief Judge of the State, Justice Aloy Nwankwo as he celebrates his 70th birthday on the 14th of this month.
