By Noah Ocheni, Lokoja

The Chairman of Kogi State Internal Revenue Service (KGIRS),  Alhaji Sule Salihu Enehe on Thursday in Lokoja called on tax payers who are yet to perform their constitutional obligations of tax payment to do in the interest of development of the state.

Enehe stated this in Lokoja on Thursday while addressing journalists on the need for prompt payment of taxes to enable government provide the needed infrastructure for the people of the state.

He noted that payment of tax promptly and as at when due will encourage the state governor Alhaji Ahmed Usman Ododo to provide quality education, health , road, water and other projects that has direct bearing on the lives of the people.

“When you declare your income and pay your tax promptly, government will have the financial power to execute meaningful projects that will benefit the people of the state.

“The zone 8 roundabout  – Barrack – Zango – GYB junction road and zone 8 roundabout – CBN – High Court road, payment of WAEC, JAMB, BECEL for students of public schools in Kogi state are the commitment of the state government to show what your tax can do for you.”

“If we are committed to the payment of our taxes as at when due, government will also utilize the tax to provide more laudable projects for us” he said.

The Chairman who warned illegal revenue collectors to desist, stressed that whoever is caught indulging on such criminal activities  in any name would face the full wrath of the law.

“It is an offence against the state to  collect revenue meant for the government. KGIRS is the only constitutionally recognized body saddled with the responsibility of collecting tax and revenue for Kogi state government.

“Therefore no associations or unions are allowed to collect revenue. Whoever is apprehended doing so will be prosecuted according to the law. Some people are facing prosecution right now in the law court for violating the law” he stated.
